@@jmsmith1767 people forget they have knives all the time. I went to the hospital and I forgot I had my knife on me and they took it. I got it back when I left. But let’s say i forgot to get it back. It was a spyderco delica 4 as well. Not cheap.
@@toxsyctv5847 I will travelling to USA in few days. I have a Victorinox Small swiss knife and a normal foldable knife with 4 inch blade that i will be putting in my checked luggage. Will it still be consficated during immirgation process?
I really like the little waiter Victorinox you got. It’s an 84 mm knife and those are absolutely fantastic. I actually think those are not big enough to not be put on your keychain. I actually used to carry one on my keys a long time ago. It’s a very useful little knife and has practically everything you need in a day.
Flying Falcon is a Frost Brand Everyone of the non knife Multi-Tools would be going in the sell pile for me. BTW Gordon is a tool company. They've been around since 1988.
I bought my Dad a $200 Spyderco as a gift. He took it through security at the airport and they confiscated it. The story he told me was that he had to fill out a form with TSA in order to keep it, but he didn't bother. It's out there somewhere...
You are lucky cause the box my brother bought had scotch tape wrapped around all the knives and it was a mess, but he did give me a few good SAK’s out of it that I cleaned up and replaced missing toothpicks and tweezers.
@@KnifeDetector it feels weird having someone else’s knives. The crazy thing is that most people are walking around with knives that are completely crap lol.
Videos like this are fun, you never know what kinda treasure (or junk) is gonna be in there. Its wild to think how many people carry knives that barely qualify as gas station tier.
The one with the beam clip, blade, file, saw, Phillips has a detachable LED flashlight on it. Looks like people carry their worst cutting tools when traveling, because they know they'll be confiscated. They just want something to cut tape, string, plastic, etc i guess.
I am embarrassed that... 1. So many Americans are stupid enough to bring knives with them to the TSA screening 2. So many Americans carry such trash in their pockets. C'mon, man! Good knives last many decades and don't cost that much. 3. People buy these boxes on Ebay expecting that the TSA hasn't "absorbed" all the good knives. Buy good knives! Leave them in the car (or at home) when you go to the airport!!!!
You should really consider marking out any shipping labels if you consider doing this in the future. I realize it is a P.O. Box, but even your name and general idea of your location is already way too much information to put out onto the internet.
You should really wear gloves when doing this. People can be nasty and have all kinds of unknown substances on those knives. And who knows, you could be screwed over and reach in and cut yourself with a dirty blade and get some kind of disease
@@KnifeDetector at my airport there is a local guy that takes this kind of stuff and sells on ebay and the proceeds go to battered woman's shelters and local kids groups
There's an office in Austin, Texas where the confiscated knives are sold individually. Usually there are only a couple of knives available that are worth owning. My theory is that people buy cheap gas-station knives and hope they can fly with them, but when TSA takes them away, they are only out a few dollars.
I would like to get a box, I find it exciting. But I have a train case with no less than 50 lb of knives in it just one of my microtech OTFs cost more than five times that whole box. I agree with one comment below that TSA takes the best ones. Still pretty fun though, thanks for the video.
Hilarious to think all this stuff is confiscated. I like to call this the "gum at school" problem. A hundred students can chew gum, throw it in the trash when they're done, no problems. It just takes that one ahole to stick it under the desk or spit it out in the lobby and bam, no one can have gum anymore. One bad egg ruins it for everyone, it's a real shame.
