I agree completely with Big Mike. Ane every now and then there are other threads on here that make me wince.

You realize the only reason their is a negative connotation now, is because you made one.

I dont think any of you read the first line of my thread starting post, I used to word, legally.

I did read it, but I think it was the "pass through" wording in the second sentence where people got different interpretations. Depending on the person reading it the first two sentences could have either come off as "can you legally carry a blade on a plane, and if not will a carbon fiber one pass through undetected" or "are there any types of blades that can be legally taken on a plane....for example can you take a carbon fiber knife on a plane legally and the security agents pass you through with no problem?" (what I assume you meant).

The problem is I've seen the "will carbon fiber knives pass through airport security undetected?" question posted a fair bit and I'm sure others have as well...and your second sentence kinda resembles that question, even if it was not your intent.

Second question, if a knife was totally made of carbon fiber even the blade, could it be taken on a plane,

as in would it pass through everything fine.

That statement of yours shows intend to get through security with a knife.

Defeating the detectors is not doing anything legally, It's a felony.

Most high quality CF will alarm on a metal detector, so the answer is again....no. Topics like this are borderline. If someone wants to risk their freedom by being cute with a knife on a plane then that is their problem. Have fun with the air marshals is all I have to say.
Keep this on topic, if possible otherwise we'll shut it down.

What? I guess you missed that 911 thing.



I take securing America seriously.


I guess you don't.

They should let EVERYbody have a knife on a plane. A BIG one. Hell, guns too with a carry permit that's recognized in starting and ending state. A lot better chance that none of those planes on 9/11 would have made it to their targets, and even the one that didn't needn't have crashed in PA.

Ok this is kind of odd...

For the heck of it I just looked up the TSA rules and in theory it looks like the TSA wording may actually allow carbon fiber/G10 etc blades. The rules say "Knives - except for *plastic* or round bladed butter knives". Being that epoxy and polyester resin are thermosetting plastics it looks like they might be allowed by the rules. If not then a pure resin knife would be.

In practice if you try to take one on the plane they probably aren't going to give you the warmest greeting.

Not really sure what your problem is with this post. If you don't like it, stop reading. Simple as that.
 
Guess the mods had better just close this one down now.

A perfectly fine post involving LEGALLY taking a knife on a plane turned sour by one person.

This is my issue right their big mike your line of thought is what gets knives banned. First reason I say that is you dropped the "terrorist" word out of know were, but by doing so you innately associated knives with things that are bad. I also said a 2in blade, but you keep bringing up huge knives. You purposely keep taking everything out of context to get the result that you see right now.

Mike saw this post and figured he would push his own agenda, also I have every right to ask what can and cannot be taken on a plane. Ignorance causes things like this and with your attitude you are basically saying it is better to be ignorant with is extremely counter intuitive given your tone throughout this conversation.
 
Big Mike said:
Isn't that exactly what a terrorist would claim while pumping knife enthusiast for information?


What is your intention in getting a knife on board a plane?


Say what you like, but your questions raise a bunch of Red Flags for me.

Slow down dude. I know for a fact that he is not a terrorist!

If you had bothered to read the thread you would have seen the majority of respondents understand that this is not the kind of thing we should be promoting.

This thread started badly and got worse fast. I don't like the second question myself: "Second question, if a knife was totally made of carbon fiber even the blade, could it be taken on a plane, as in would it pass through everything fine."

Bladeforums does not support illegal activity. If the original post had restricted itself to "Are there any knives that can be legally brought onto a plane?" we would be OK.

Additionally, too many participants seem more interested in insulting each other than addressing the topic.

I am closing this thread.
