Went to the National Infantry Museum at Fort Benning today.

Security out front wanding everybody. "Sorry sir, no knives allowed in the Infantry Museum."

Tired of this crap.  Hate being without a knife.   Can anybody recommend a decent plastic/ceramic knife?  Are the Cold Steel nightshade stabbies any good?

Not sharp enough to cut with very well but the points are certainly stabby enough. I have two of the spikes with triangular blades and a full size tanto. The spikes are nice as they can ride in a sock, on a necklace, under a belt in the small of the back, even in a boot. The lack of truly sharp edges allows multiple options for carrying them that won't leave you bleeding.

I'm going to give one of the Stone River Gear Ceramic Neck Knives a try.

Make sure you wand it yourself. Some of them have metal powder so they'll still set off a detector.

Good thread. I've ran into the same situation several times of late. Seems silly that they won't even let you carry a pocket folder. Gonna check out the G10 knives to see if they work.

I used to buy the Choate Tool letter openers by the box. If they’re doing pat downs you just chuck it in a garbage can...

Use these ceramics a lot.  Very sharp.  But very brittle too, and tips like to break off.
