Leatherman Squirt PS4 and a Benchmade RSK Mini Griptillian
Sometimes an Emerson CQC7 Mini with the wave opening feature, or on days when I feel like going large...an Emerson full size CQC7.
Same for me. The super tinker is good too!
Sorry SC - there is always another plane to catch - you won't ever get another knife like that. The very least I would have done is go back out into the airport and find someone and give them $20 and my address and ask them to mail it to me (you can still do that in Texas). I wouldn't give the TSA the satisfaction of taking any knife from me - I'd trust a stranger with it or even give it to a stranger before I would let those jerks take it from me.
:good:
I agree!
I know it's tlate now, but you could've had it mailes back to you.
My son had a zippo on him when we flew to Winnipeg in 2007. No body said anything on the way up, but on the way back they weren't going to let him on the plane with it. They let him mail it to himself, even provided the envelop. I'm surprised TSA didn't offer that. Then what do you expect for 10 bucks an hour....
Sorry about your loss,

I am a Type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetic. I can get on a plane with a bag full of needles but they confiscated my wife's eyebrow tweezers. Common sense is not so common.

Like I mentioned, it wasn't all that important.....my father had a lot of knives (and numerous other tools) as he was a model maker (airplanes) and leather worker (bags, wallets, belts, holsters) as a hobbyist.
Dad's been gone since 1994, and I've got everything I ever wanted of his (and my brother has the rest).....after those 10 days in Vegas (117 degrees one afternoon), all I wanted to do was go home.
My real point was the irony of taking away the smaller knife and then giving me a full-sized dinner knife to cut soft pasta with on the plane.
My assumption is/would be that the "full-size" dinner knife was plastic....except that you're pointing out the irony....was it steel?

I'm surprised the Post Office didn't intercept it! 😉
We usually fly coach/economy (mostly on Jet Blue), but this time due to the emergency, we caught business class on Delta (the front six rows).
On our Jet Blue flights, any cutlery is plastic, but in Delta business class, it was definitely more substantial, although I wouldn't swear it was real stainless steel. I was surprised, especially since they were serving either lasagna or chicken breast for the emal....hardly aa problem to cut up.
IMHO, someone could have done a lot more damage with the dinnerware than with my dad's little pen knife.
> Uncle Henry model 897 UH. I've lost a dozen of them over the last twenty years.

You and me both on losing those Uncle Henrys. Only I started losing them over 40 years ago. Just bought a new one (a 285)last December. I still have an old 897 but my wife broke the tip of one of the blades.
> Uncle Henry is a Schrade knife with more chromium in the blade to resist corrosion. The Old Timers are the same knife with more carbon.
I also have an Old Timer Stockman that I have had for 12 years and was at least that old when I inherited it.

I heard about a mission group that went into Mexico, some many years ago. When the border guard asked about switchblades, and yes, they had bought some, they BROKE the blades, and handed them to the border patrol.
It really makes me think that businesses have been set up, based on those confiscations.
Ebay businesses.
