So work with our local Search and Rescue and right now we are training new members, the Deputy that oversees our county team is really good friends with a TSA agent at our airport… so every year the agent turns over 2 boxes of confiscated knives (one pocket knives, 1 multitools) for the deputy to let the new recruits grab a knife and a multitool if they need one.
Well last night at the end of the training session the deputy brought out the boxes for people to dig through..
I'll say I'm one of 2-3 people in SAR that are knife people, everyone dug through the boxes and was happy with the random stuff.
I walked up about 30 min later to just look at the "crap" that was left. Well yes 80% were gas station knives, but the rest were actual Leatherman waves or revs, 1 benchmade griptillion, about 15 Kershaw leek/chives and a ton of Bucks of various models, a Kizer cormorant, And this… laying on the table mixed in. From 10 feet away my eyes caught the bel air and I was in disbelief that nobody grabbed it.
I have a bel air in the creme scales, now I have the black I wanted.
It just surprises me that people dont do a pocket check before getting on a plane, there were some good knives and multi tools, 1 was still in the clamshell brand new!
And if you lost a bel air to TSA, it got a good home lol.
