Can you carry a pocket knife on a plane?

Answer 1

It depends on what you do with it.

Added: Not enough information with which to answer. What is the questioner's definition of a "pocket knife?"

Just becase it can FIT in your pocket does not make it lawful to carry.

Not all state's laws define such knives the same, and what may be legal in one state may NOT be legal in another.

Questionable knives such as; switchblades - spring-loaded knives - balisongs - gravity knives - knives with unfolded blades more than "X" inches in length - etc - etc, are not automatically lawful simply because they can fit in a pocket. Check with your local law enforcement agency.

Answer 2

That would depend on the purpose of the knife, but generally most employers have policies against employees carrying weapons on them. If it's a small knife with no blade and some gadgets relevant to work (e.g. a nail file, a can opener, etc.) then I'd say sure. Anything more and I'd say no unless you get specific permission from your employer.

Answer 3

A common pocket knife is not classified as a deadly weapon. Switchblades and knives in which the blade separates from the handle do not classify as common pocket knives.

Answer 4

Yes, I can.

Answer 5

No.

Answer 6

Knives that are usually legal to carry almost anywhere include multi-tool devices, Swiss Army knives, and utility knives, and knives with blades that are shorter than 2.5 inches.

There are some locations in the U.S. where it’s always illegal to carry a knife, including schools, courts, and government buildings. Knives cannot be brought onboard planes, or onto military bases except for members of the military. It truly depends on where you live.
