Can I Take a Bowie Knife on a Plane If it is in My Suitcase?

Carrying weapons aboard a plane is a big no-no, isn’t it? If you’re the proud owner of a bowie knife, you might think that there’s no possible way that you’d ever be allowed to carry that knife on a plane. However, while you’re right, you’re wrong at the same time. You can take your bowie knife with you when you fly, but you have to follow some pretty specific guidelines. What’s the system you have to follow? What do you need to do?

The answer to that question is “yes and no.” How can that be? First, you have to understand the difference between carryon and checked baggage. For instance, any carryon bag must be sent through a metal detector, before you are allowed to board a plane with it. In addition, any item within that bag will be within easy reach during the flight. Therefore, you cannot carry your bowie knife in your carryon luggage.

Next, you will need to pack your knife appropriately. You would think that just placing it in your suitcase would be enough, but the TSA demands more stringent measures. You’ll need to make sure that your bowie knife is sheathed, first and foremost. You will also need to make sure that the knife is secured within the sheath in some way. Some sheaths have a buttoned strap for this purpose. However, even a simple piece of twine can serve your purpose here.
