Personalized Pocket Knives Aren’t Just For Anybody

That’s correct. Personalized Pocket Knives are intended for one person. Each

knife is intended for each person whose name is engraved on it. The reason for this statement is that some people want their logo on 100 knives, and they call that personalizing. It’s not really personalizing unless each knife has the name of each recipient on it.

If you want your logo engraved on 100 knives, it is more accurate to call that “engraving” or “logo-ing”.

The Persistent Pertinence of Personalized Pocket Knives

Personalized Pocket Knives are persistently pertinent to the advertising efforts of businesses. That’s why business owners order them repeatedly. Why are they pertinent?

Secrets to Flying With Personalized Pocket Knives

So you like to keep a pocket knife on you at all times. It is handy to open packages, cut string and rope, and get someone out of a seat belt after an accident. When you fly on a commercial airline, what does TSA (Transportation Security Administration) have to say about your habit?

  • You may have personalized pocket knives in your checked bags.
  • You may not have them in your carry-on bags. The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item will be allowed past the checkpoint.

Since I sell pocket knives, one time I tested the system. When I travel by air, I like to take my fingernail clippers and toenail clippers. In the same shaving pouch I have a small inexpensive multi-knife. It has a small non-locking blade, scissors, and nail file. It is about 2″ closed. I normally put this shaving pouch in my checked bag. This time, I put it in my carry-on bag. Mainly because I was going on a short trip and didn’t need to use a checked bag. Surprise..I was able to go through the checkpoint. It worked that time, but who knows if TSA would allow this knife to pass every time.

What happens if you remember that you have an expensive knife in your pocket, and you are already in the TSA line? It’s too late to put it in your checked bag.

  • Get out of line and hide it somewhere in the airport, like a flower pot, above a ceiling tile, behind some furniture, or any other place you can think of.
  • Go outside and bury it in the ground.

On your return trip, your knife might be gone, but it might still be there. It’s better odds than forfeiting it to the TSA agent.
