can I bring it on a plane as a carry-on? it has a belt-cutter that include a blade

I have an emergency belt cutter on my keychain. It's been noticed once, but the blade can't be fully exposed, so they waved it through. I have had a utili-key confiscated though, so YMMV.

To my knowledge, the rule changes to the TSA that might permit small pocket knives have not yet been put into play. (A quick search at TSA.gov shows all pocket knives are still prohibited.) But even if proposed rule changes are brought into play, I'm fairly sure that the blade on this guy is still to large to be acceptable.

you can carry on almost all multi-tools that are under 7" long and do not have a blade. So get a Leather Man take off the knives and its good to go through TSA Security for carry on. However TSA Still recommends taking these items out of your bag so they can look to verify there is no blade faster, and they wont have to dig through your bags for it!

Definitely not. Because of the knife and the fire starter for sure. Now, you may get away with bringing it on board, but don't plan on it. If you want something for defense on a plane, keep a ball point pen and a sharpie marker.

Not sure if your asking if you can carry it with you on the plane or shipped by plane. Smooth-On to my knowledge ships to distributors overseas as well as in U.S. As far as carrying with you on a plane, probably not. I honestly couldn't tell you for sure.

Julian, I don't think it will be allowed. See this article on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/05/travel/tsa-knives/

i did just that. used it as my carry on on a domestic flight to veil co...though as it is also my normal camping pack i checked and double checked that i hadn't left a knife or magnesium stick or anything "dangerous" inside.*edit* seeing the other comment i wanted to clarify, i flew out on American Airlines, and returned on Continental. so i know it fit in their o'head compartments

I recently passed through two security checkpoints with this accidentally in my carry on. It was clipped in the pocket of some pants I had packed and forgot to remove it. I didn't have a problem but I would remove the blade before flying for sure.

I have not had the opportunity to travel on an air plane with it. It would fold up pack wonderfully, with it's velcro strap and nice and handy bag but whether it would make it through security, I'm not sure. Bon voyage!

you can place this tool in your checked bag but NOT your carry-on TSA will take it!

No. You need a hard-sided, locking bag tor transport weapons. Check with your individual airline for specific requirements.

Not very easily. You need about two feet of leg room and a foot and a half width and unfortunately, most planes don't have that much room. Plus, it doesn't fold up and would be bulky to carry in my opinion.

The blade is about 3 inches... give or take a few millimeters. No, it would be too big for the TSA drones to approve.

Don't know for sure but wouldn't want to take the chance that they would confiscate it. Since in can think of no reason anyone would need it during a flight I would play it safe and not take it as carry-on. Now that I think further you could loose it either way. I would check with NTSB. If it were essential that I have it at my destination I would mail it ahead. Dang! Can't depend on that either!!! Sorry.

It's a small bag! I think you could take it as a carry on if you'd like. I don't see why it would be a problem. I took it with me onto a plane a few months back.

Yes it can - however not sure the stictch is strong enough that it would last long attached to your belt. Size wise it is a better pack knife than a belt knife.
