    Buy it, carry it, toss it before crossing back over.
    Saves the hassle of explaining things to customs on either side.
    And when a Mexican cop confiscates a $10 knife it sucks less than paying the $50 "fine" to keep your own nice knife.
    If I actually had to use it in Mexico the plan was to toss it and exfil to the border.

    I get pulled into DC and other NPEs on occasion and hence carry knives I won't mind losing should I encounter a metal detector or whatever, yes?

    I get the foreign country scenario, but having to toss a blade down the drain domestically sounds either criminal, or piss poor planning.

    Finally ordered from Joe, website says a few weeks to ship. I'll post pics when it comes.

    I went with the Pikal because it'll be my in pocket stabbing people knife. I took knife classes a decade ago, it is time to refresh. Also you asked so nicely

    Well let's see, Dropkick, at the ol' day job I've had Madeline Albright, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and various other federal and state dignitaries show up. I've had roles from supporting the event, to managing the building the Secret Service set up snipers on, to troubleshooting technology, to just being the poor sap who wanders into some circus. While heading downtown to the mall--I see you are from NoVA and so ought to understand--I've had friends and family visiting the museums and such all of a sudden decide to check out an NPE like the capitol or whatnot. And I've trained with and rolled with enough LEOs to know my usual gear might raise a few eyebrows and invite closer scrutiny among cops so when I suspect an encounter with an LEO I don't know I might lose a blade or two. And combine that with the fact that we live in Virginia where the knife laws are pretty darn unclear then yes, in my 22 years in the area I've found occasion to chuck a blade or two. And if you find that amusing, or think it's more nobel to eat some knife charge one would have to fight in court than to chuck a $20 blade, I guess I'll just have to find a way to live with it
