Crap - I had security attempt to take a box of fishing flies (like number 6- 8 flies - ie trout flies) - they told me they were weapons - I told them I couldn't catch fish much less people - they were not amused. Security told me they would dispose of the flies for me (about $200 worth) - I told them I would dump them myself or find someone to take them - they then mentioned that I could mail them back to myself as there was a PO in the airport - cost me $20 in postage but I saved my flies. Can't see how they will allow a knife. That knife or any knife for that matter is a LOT bigger than a fly.

Personal Items
Personal items such as disposable razors (e.g. blade encased in a plastic holder), small scissors (with blades 6 cm or less), tweezers and nail clippers are permitted.
Razors (open, loose or straight blades) or personal items with a blade over 6 cm must be packed in checked baggage when flying within Canada or to an international (non-U.S.) destination. Knives of any type or length are not permitted in your carry-on on flights to the U.S.
See in bold - directly from CATSA. This is going to be either considered a razor blade or a knife and is, probably, only legal on one of them "chicken express" airlines in third world countries. Or, if you insist on keeping it while they take it away - "prison express" airlines.
Unless it's a disposable razor blade or you're flying your own plane, you can't have it in your carry-on.

Any knife is airline legal in checked luggage. But then, depending on your international destination, might still get you in trouble in countries where a mere possession of a knife that's not a kitchen butter knife, can get you incarcerated.
I fly an average of at least once a month in Canada, sometimes more, and have no problem carrying either of two different styles of knives. One is a folder and the other a fixed blade. Depending on my mood I'll carry one or the other.
Both are under the 6cm and have no issues at all with security. Swiss army knives under 6cm hardly get a look now.

Effin Germans took away my Army souvenir - a spent 5.45 AK shell with a bullet on a keyring, that I had on my keys for ages and flew all over the world with it and never had a problem. Until once I was in FRA and decided to go get me a beer that warranted leaving the clean zone and having to re-enter it through clearance.
When they saw my keychain, two dudes with HKs came behind me out of nowhere, and they asked me what I've had in my bag. I showed them and they said it was dangerous and not permitted. I showed them that it was a shot one and had a hole through the shell at the bottom (that's how it was attached to the ring), but they said that I "could poke someone's eye with it". I was gonna say that I could poke an eye with my fingers but decided it was ill advised given the course of actions.
So, I removed it from the keychain and they just about packed it as a bomb and let me in.
Again, effin Germans. Good thing they lost WW2.

Carry a gerber folder on domestic flights all the time. Always gets measured.

I fly to remote regions often. This requires multiple airports and connections. Stowed luggage isn't an option if I don't want to miss a connection EVERY TIME.
I fly a lot. That’s bull####.
A sharpened blade that is not a razor will not be allowed on a plane at a Canadian airport, regardless the size
I cant even fly with my strait razor In my carry on shave kit.

Please note: The final decision rests with the screening officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.

I have a Kershaw that's been in my pocket on every flight since last may and I fly back and forth across the country every two weeks. Been measured twice in that time,usually doesn't draw any attention in security at all. I've had beard scissors and nail clippers in my shaving kit in my carry on for many years, never a question in security. As long as you stay domestic its not an issue. Need a knife to get those damn chicken wraps open on Air Canada, the cellophane is brutal.
