If anyone knows where the TSA auctions off confiscated items, I just had an RSK Mk.2 confiscated out of my bag at JFK airport. I didn't realize it was in my carry-on when I got to security, and I knew there was a problem as soon as I saw the look on the x-ray machine operator's face..

Agents were firm but respectful, and when they saw how pissed off my wife was they actually took some pity on me and started cracking jokes.

They would have allowed me to take it back to my car, but I would have missed my flight, so into the confiscation bin it went.

Expensive mistake learned - check my bags VERY CAREFULLY before heading to the airport. Not the first time this has happened, but first time I've had to abandon the knife.

(At least it was not one of the out-of-production Ritters. I should have a new one waiting for me upon my return!)
