So is my beloved Camillus camp knife now carry-on, measured from where? [View all]

Does the blade length go from the non-blade base part or only the blade? The sharp/blade part is 2 3/8" but the whole is 2 5/8" and the width is 5/8". Whoopi said these things were always allowable INSIDE the luggage, not on-person, correct?

The illustrated Camillus Knife is the Camillus Camp Knife that features a 2 3/8" spear blade, can opener, punch and screwdriver/cap lifter made of stainless steel. The stainless steel handle of this Camillus knife, 3 3/4" closed, has U.S. embossing and a shackle.

I shall (carry on). The wait will be productive for me, will apply some mineral oil UTUSN Mar 2013 #4

That's slightly over the limit, however MineralMan Mar 2013 #5

I think mine would make it REP Mar 2013 #28

The most definitive measuring points would be hinge point to blade point 1-Old-Man Mar 2013 #6

You've got it. From the exposed part of the blade MineralMan Mar 2013 #12

Even if you measure just the sharpened rsdsharp Mar 2013 #7

Seriously. I mean the aisle is only about 100' long, right? lumberjack_jeff Mar 2013 #15

Yeah wood is out of the question. Rex Mar 2013 #17

This reminds me of the time I had a 1" keychain Swiss Knife lost in the lining of my purse librechik Mar 2013 #11

Apparently my schrade sp2 is still verboten lumberjack_jeff Mar 2013 #14

Plus that knife looks menacing Rex Mar 2013 #19

The image (on my screen) is pretty much full size. lumberjack_jeff Mar 2013 #20

Okay then I am even more scared-er Rex Mar 2013 #22

Play it safe and use the American Knife & Tool Institute's protocol slackmaster Mar 2013 #18

Yip, that measuring field includes the "base"/non-sharp/hinge part. n/t UTUSN Mar 2013 #25

It makes sense anatomically, in terms of the depth of the would it could theoretically create slackmaster Mar 2013 #26

So now my little key chain Leatherman is legal on a plane but not the court house Jersey Devil Mar 2013 #21

The courthouse has a 'Gerber only' rule. Rex Mar 2013 #23

No way I would ever let my Camillus Boy Scout wood carving knife near an airport. bemildred Mar 2013 #24
