hey all you peoples. taking look at some GEC 25s and 15s and am liking what is there. i was wondering if there are any specific models from these patterns that fit the tsa approval on carryables. if anyone would be able to show pictures of some their GECs that fit the specifications (6mm long and a half inch wide), that would be much appreciated. they are what im primarily looking at but if there are other GEC patterns that fit the requirements, that would also be a pleasure to see.thanks you all for the help.
 
The Pemberton is close but the blade is just a smidge too wide. I wouldn't risk it with a knife that nice. Not sure about any other models, though.
 
I believe on the #15 the main blade is over 6cm and a little over 1/2" wide, and on the #25s the main blade is over 1/2" wide as well....not sure of any other patterns by GEC, but I agree with Fanglekai - I wouldn't risk it with an expensive knife.
Maybe a Case Peanut would be a good choice....
 
The #33 (2nd from left) is close but just a few mm too long. The only one I'm pretty sure about, I think it was confirmed, is the #61 Congress / Half Congress in the middle.. That one's main blade is both short and thin enough. Not sure if the #62 to its right fits or not. Still, I'm not sure I would bring a GEC over a SAK Classic. I wouldn't be happy losing a SAK let alone a GEC.

Don't risk a GEC get a RR for TSA duties!!! Or go with a Vic Classic for now.
