I definately misunderstood how your laws work.

All of the other suggestions have been great ones.

uh? you were the first to suggest what most agree is the best idea; a mora.
and my SAK champ never leaves my side; thanks bill. In the UK it's the best all round knife. I don't understand why everyone doesn't carry one. But then this site would be a bit bigger if everyoen thought like us...

Thanks for the clarification, although I was only referring to having to ditch the locking folders. I didn't think the ditching of the fixed blade was needed, although it might be problematic (i.e. Less than legal) transporting it to and from the airport.

As a side note, if its not illegal to own a locking blade, just carry it, another option could be to just ship it to your house prior to flying home.

+1 on the swisschamp, I too carry it in addition to any other knives/multi-tools I strap on for the day....been carring one since 9th grade high school, 25+ years, minus the last4-5 years when I carried only a multi-tool because I lost it in a move and got too lazy to replace it. Got another one this christmas and never realized how much I trully missed it.

This seasons National Geographic Adventurer was about "The Science of Survival" and how to "Survive (Almost) Anything." Guess what knife they picked as the best overall survival knife? The USCMC Ka-Bar.
