There will be no problems if it is in the case to go in the hold.

If it's a good one it may "get lost".

I would be amazed if found that you can carry thro on hand luggage.... There is certainly a risk to it being pinched out of your case- depends on your destination the scale of the risk... I would risk unless its worth lots of money. I always put my V Knife in my toiletry bag and even when my case was gone thro in J Burg it was nt taken. Prob not a big enough blade or not worth anything to them. Reckon their usually after jewellery

I wasn't allowed to take a set of cable crimpers in hand luggage so I don't think you'll be allowed to take you your tool with you unless it goes in the hold.

Always have one in the first aid kit that is in the suitcase

Never had a problem at Manchester or Humberside
