I hate being without a blade, simply from a utility standpoint.

Recently my favorite theme park/resort installed metal detectors, on previous visits I've been able to just put my knife into my pocket without issue as long as the clip wasn't showing. I have a backpack, so I'm wonder about a small blade that could live in the bag. Their policy says "no weapons" so sadly this most likely means any blade will be considered a "weapon" if it's on your person. I figure something like the small Swiss Army could be placed with my camera gear and not be seen, plus it's not a weapon really. This is as much a brainstorm as it's probably not worth getting caught with an evil "weapon" and ruining our vacation.

So all of that to say, any good incognito knives?

I was looking at the Gerber money clip.

Won't trip the metal detector.

Letter opener of plastic design works great. Watch out for the metal key ring though. If you have the "spike" have wife/ girlfriend put hair up and use the spike to hold hair.

You our could always put together a knitting pack and claim you are knitting.��

Will the plastic actually slice open a package (the vacuum sealed kind)?

Plastic knife from gunshow, doesn't show up on metal detector s. Sand it a bit and it is reasonably sharp.

Key shaped knife, works well, $7 at Walmart. Name brand escapes me at the moment.

That reminded me of the Swiss Tech key multitool, it has a small "blade" as well. I like the SOG one as well, and it's $12 on Amazon...

Maybe something like this, you'd have to test it against a detector but there's a good chance it would go through. Probably even a better chance with a less reputable company.

Just to clarify, you ate liking for actual cutting ability, as opposed to just a personal defense item right OP?

Yes, utility.

And not so much sneaking it in, as it not being immediately obvious as a "weapon" and possible hidden within my other gear. The key tool/knifes are probably the best option.

From what I've heard, plastic. knife/blades can be detected. "Tactical" pens may be the best way to go. Lake Side, I'd be sporting something.

A small knife tucked in the camera gear may be the way to go.
