Knives - once and for all. LEOs? Lawyers?

I have switched to carrying a utility knife like this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Edge-.../dp/B07T8HR38F

No sharpening, cheap blades available just about everywhere. Another option: MOSSY OAK 2-pack Folding Pocket Utility Knife Set, Quick Change Blade, Frame Lock, EDC Box Cutter with Belt Clip, Stone Washed currently on Amazon for $13.99 or $7 each.

If you fly, you toss the blade and pick one up after you arrive at your destination. I still have my Spyderco knives, a Gerber, a CRKT, a Kershaw, and a few others, but for what I do on a day to day with my carry knife, one of the inexpensive utility knives works well for me.

Be safe.

That thing is neat. Blades at any HD.
Heh, you could even mail a blade to your hotel ahead of time.

Or you could just take your normal carry knife. Just has to go in your checked bag.

You don't get hassled at all through TSA (without blade of course) if carrying on?

Its TSA...of course you're going to be hassled. If it isn't this it will be something else, but what is this thing if it doesn't have a blade? It isn't a gun part and without a blade, it isn't a knife. Just let them touch your junk and then give them a bottle of water. Odds are they will be happy because the found something prohibited and move along to someone they find more attractive.

Stick a toothpick in the slot and tell em it’s a pocket carried toothpick holder. Advise them you are Hep C
+.

I'll just tell them I'm incubating COVID-19. That should go over well.

I guess I've survived this long without having to even think of using my pocket streamlight for its potential alternate uses or get busted for it's minimally crenulated bezel, though DougCo justice center cops gave it a good look, I can probably live without one of these gadgets.

[ETA] I already have a tendency to get a little mouthy with the TSA pukes if they're being particularly assholy, I should avoid potential confrontation on something like this.

Knives.....well they aren't knives but they are edged.....since I am new to CO I will ask, are Tomahawks legal to carry? Asking for a friend.....
