The weird thing is the TSA document that illustrates these changes shows what looks like a standard SAK (something like a hiker ... with the phillips instead of the corkscrew) as an example of an allowed knife. I thought standard SAKs have blade lengths just over 6 cm?
Here's the document:
Changes to Prohibited Items List (PIL) - March 2013The complete list of criteria for allowable knives is:
- The blade is no longer than 2.36 inches or 6 centimeters in length
- The blade width is no more than ½ inch at its widest point
- The knife does not have a locking or fixed blade
- The knife does not have a molded grip
