Favorite pocket knife for European travel?
I lost my little Sypderco knife that I traveled with the past several years and I need to replace it. Before I start researching - any suggestions? I like it to be a combination serrated/smooth blade - works so well cutting fresh bread, cheese, fruit, etc. And it needs to be pretty small.
Somehow I actually got through security with my little knife in a side pocket of my carry on messenger bag. I forgot that it was in there and was really surprised when I pulled it out to use it for the first time and realized that I had carried it on with me.

It depends on how the Discriminator is set: I went thru Newark's security with a very small Swiss Army-type knife in my pocket several times.
The same knife was confiscated by TSA screening in San Diego. It was in my carry-on

I like to be prepared for any contingency, so I never leave home without this: http://www.hammacher.com/publish/74670.asp#

Well, my first reply when reading this was going to be "Be sure to put it in checked baggage". I think DH has had at least 5 tiny Swiss army knives taken, and I lost mine with the cork screw and other blades.
I like the opinels. Or a folding Laguiole. I use ours for a tailgating knife.
Buy a Swiss aremy knife on Amazon and save money.
