I got my Swiss Army Knife on board a Swiss Air flight back from Amsterdam. This was a year before 9/11 however.

>> Mine, a small "Executive" model was a gift from my late wife. Before she passed we took an Alaskan cruise, round trip out of Seattle. On the flight from Tucson I put the knife in checked baggage but on the return trip after checking my luggage I remembered it was in my carry-on camera case. When the bag went through the scanner I could see the guy moving the conveyor belt forward and back and figured my goose was cooked. So I said something like, "Damn I think I left my pen knife in that bag." He said, "Okay take it out and show me." of course, he declared it contraband. Since we were holding up the line, I was just going to surrender it and move on. My wife threw a fit and the agent said, "Take it over there." It turns out they have a counter just for stuff like this. She took it there and for $8 they put it in an envelope and mailed it to us.
