Not yet. I saw it on a TV talk show today.Have ypu bought it and tried it out?
I don't see why not. It's not really sharp.Can you carry it on an airplane?
I don't see why not. It's not really sharp.
Once the blade is 5cm or shorter you can carry it on a plane. I have a Victorinox 'Swisscard' which lives in my wallet. Airport security regularly remove it and measure the blade (3.75cm) and it's always passed muster.Can you carry it on an airplane?
I agree. An obvious design flaw.Where's the cork screw?

Unfortunately this is not true in the US.Once the blade is 5cm or shorter you can carry it on a plane. I have a Victorinox 'Swisscard' which lives in my wallet. Airport security regularly remove it and measure the blade (3.75cm) and it's always passed muster.
I gave my son a sharp glance once and they refused to let me board . . . .If it has a cutting edge, TSA will confiscate it.
Are you sure? Until last week I would have said The same In Canada but as I went through The safety airport area I noticed new signs that indicated that You can now bring knifes, blades, etc., as long as them are less than 6 cm at The based of The blade.Unfortunately this is not true in the US.
You don't have to wear it through security. Just stick it in your bag.What a brilliant idea! I love it! Unfortunately even the silver foil on the packet of polos in my pocket set the airport alarm off. Don't think I could get away with it.

Looking at the Swiss Card images on both the Victorinox website and Amazon dot com, it's hard for me to see how the knife blade is not visible in the x-ray since it's clearly visible in the transparent plastic card, but you should know. And thanks for the info on the Gerber Dime Travel -- I'm going to look into that for airline travel. I'm sure that TSA has a whole file on me noting the number of those little 1.5" blade pocket Swiss Army knives I've surrendered over the past few years. When you carry them everyday, it's just so darn easy to forget that they're there....
The Swiss Card is not an exception to the rules against knife blades. The x-Ray machine just does not see a blade, because this blade is designed to look like something else.
I personally carry a Gerber "Dime Travel" pocket multi/tool. It literally has everything except a knife and weighs a fraction of what the classic SA knife weighs. Check it out.

BTW, under Sporting Goods, it doesn't mention walking poles, but it does say that ski poles are prohibited in carry-on. And given that "the final decision rests with the TSA officer," I don't think I'd take my chances unless the poles were cheap enough that I was willing to take the chance of leaving then at the security checkpoint.
