FAA allows knives for checked baggage

[Armand]

You don't have to worry about traveling your knives by plane. Media is just exaggerating things about knives.

FAA allows knives of any size as long as it will be checked in baggage. Here is the link
to FAA's site regarding this matter. http://www.faa.gov/apa/faq/pr_faq.htm

Do be careful though, because the FAA says that it is up to each individual Airline company to make their own rules. So if the airline says no that means you can not take knives with you in any way.

Bill Burke contacted United and was told that if the knives are in a locked case and they are informed that the knives are there, then they will be allowed in with checked baggage. Be prepared to have the caase inspected.

I do not know what regulations the other Airlines have.
