   If you are not supposed to carry a knife, then the Swiss Army knives are   
   innocent looking. Try a Cadet for a small thin carry.   
      
   The steel is not the greatest, but they are thin bladed, very sharp and   
   easy to keep sharp. Plastic strapping (often it's really fibreglass)   
   will dull just about anything quickly.
