I have always carried a knife: It's an Old-timer 3-blade stock knife. Until 9/11, I carried it in my pocket, putting it in the little tray when I went through security. Now, I put it in my checked luggage and retrieve it when I arrive at my destination. I've never needed the knife on the plane, so it's no big deal.

Nope, it's no big deal, until you need it.

Nah. A stock knife is a crappy weapon. You can't stab with it, because the blade will fold. Slashing is a bad offense, since you leave yourself open. I'd rather be bare-handed than try to use a folding stock knife as a weapon. It's a tool, for cutting stuff and for cleaning your fingernails. I would never miss it if I were called upon to fight with someone.
