Incognito EDC/Utility Knife

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.

How about one of these? http://www.midwayusa.com/product/971...l-handle-black

Won't trip the metal detector.

I picked up one of these years ago:

I like that

I'm a Spyderco dealer, pm me for pricing... [Coffee]

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.

SOG.

I got one of these for Xmas

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.
