Is it possible, to remove the blade(s) on a LM, maybe a juce or something (so I can carry in school)?

the juice models are all riveted so you would have to snap the blade off as close to the joint as possible to remove it. as for the non-juice models, they all use proprietary hardware so it's pretty difficult to disassemble them and you'd still need to make/find a spacer to replace the knife blade. you'd have better luck taking the blades out of a gerber or SOG since they both use regular fastening systems, but they may be too big for you.

I don't think it is a good idea. You can snap off blades with a good pliers or vice grips (if it's an LM squirt), but if it's a juice, you may need a hacksaw and a file to smooth the cut afterwards...
But the reason I think it's a bad idea is that the sheeple will probably confiscate it anyway becasue it may have a file or corkscrew or awl or can opener... I know it sounds stupid, but the only thing they might allow is the pliers.. they will always find some excuse.
Your best bet is a smaller tool like the squirt.. at least if you remove the blade from that, the other implements are small enough to be non-threating even to the worst dictators...
