    Solid suggestions so far. I would only suggest a paracord attachment method or shok-cord. You wouldn't want to go through the trouble of carrying a non-metallic knife only to have the screener pickup the metal clip attaching it to your belt or the metal chain around your neck.

    You don't want to get flagged with one. Carrying any type of fixed blade in Disney @ California is problematic

    "12020. (a) Any person in this state who does any of the following
    is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year
    or in the state prison:

    (4)Carries concealed upon his or her person any dirk or dagger."

    I do not know if there is an LEO exemption buried in the penal code for off duty.

    Or maybe a monkeyfist https://monkeyarmor.com/
    Anyone with experience with the meangeneleather coin saps? I am looking at on for carry in Mexico. I saw them in TPI the other night but haven't had a chance to ask about them yet. PM me if you don't want to thread drift.

    G10 seems to be one of the best materials for this type of knife.

    In general, the edge will be worth little or nothing, but the point will be quite useful. So, you want a design that focuses on providing 3 dimensional support to the point, rather than a flat design that provides an edge but only 2 dimensional support to the point.

    The edge on the krein is surprisingly sharp, and toothy. It'll certainly cut flesh easily

    That looks like a TK-8. I have one in D2, amazing blade.

    Great suggestions. I really like the Tom Krein blade, no real surprise, and that exact knife was the inspiration for starting this thread. I generally go the "buy once, cry once" route, but this is somewhat of a special circumstances use and I'm inclined to something that can be pitched in a trashcan without thought. Still looking into the many suggestions.

    My original plan, to keep it all non-metalic, was to carry it as a neck knife using 550 cord with cord lock.

    Looks like the punishments are stiff for such things at Disneyland in Cali, but as Tom noted, we're central FL residents and Disney World patrons. You're simply 86'd from Disney property at their discretion if caught here, no different than Target or other private property with "no weapons allowed" signs unless specified by FL law (like professional sporting events).

    With the exception of some of the stuff that comes specifically from Special Circumstances, such as the ceramic core polymer coated knives, you are generally wasting your money if you are spending more than $40-$50 on a polymer knife. I have bought a couple of expensive ones, and have not found them to be particularly better than an $8 CIA Letter Opener form A. G. Russell. At the $8-$12 price range, it becomes relatively painless to own several.

    One of the best such blades I have come across is a Colt S.P.E.A.R Pack Knife. Unfortunately they are no longer made, so they may be hard to find. They are not only well made from G10, but are also single edge with a short blade length, presenting some possible (but in no way guaranteed to succeed) arguments for legality of carry in states wherein fixed blades are legal. Dark Star makes a well-designed sheath for them, providing flexibility in carry methods. On of these could easily be fastened to a Chris Fry/Raven Pocket Shield.
