Steve6443 , the point is that there is no one authorized to pass security with a weapon. Who says you will not pass the knife on to someone who's not flying with you (fueller, mechanic,...) and this person might pass it on to let's say the cleaning staff......
I'm trying to explain this every time to my cabin crew when they complain about security again. Think further than just yourself.
