Yes, I've taken my CKB-Alpha through airport security. As you mention, in the change basket. No problems. Never a second glance.
If it get's X-Rayed, I'll have "forgotten" that the blade was there. Or it will be a letter opener. Unless they decide that the entire knife is a blade, it's within regulations, as the edge is under 3" and unserrated (and in my case, single-edged).
Yes, the manta ray skin is BEAUTIFUL!
A suggestion, though is to keep the leather edges touched up with old style kiwi black shoe polish. Removing it from pockets is starting to abrade the edge, and fraying is a long term possibility.
