This guy isn’t buying the knives from TSA. He is buying them from an eBay seller who may or may not have gotten them from TSA. So even if TSA agents are not skimming off the good ones, (I don’t think they are, for the most part,) the seller is skimming anything of value, selling it at a good price, and then boxing the low value stuff because it is not worth listing individually.

Per TSA, they DO NOT “confiscate” knives. They give the owner the option to return the item to their car or put it in checked luggage. The TSA will never take your belongings forcefully. That’s why you will NEVER find an expensive knife in these, because the owners would know the worth of those and not give them to the TSA.

I always enjoy these confiscated knife videos. I see a lot of tactical junk knives and Swiss Army knock-offs, but seldom see a quality knife that would actually be a useful tool like a stockman style, trapper or jack of any decent quality. I don't know who would be impressed by a purple anodized tactical knife with a color-matched blade, but I would be too embarrassed to carry something that trashy.

Thank you. It was around $170usd. Slightly over $1 per knife

Many years ago I was getting on a train in Japan when I found out that I could not carry my SAK on board. They were very apologetic and arranged to mail it home for me. No charge.

Ya, they sell these TSA confiscated lots in a state auction. I went to one and they actually seperate the good, junk, multi tool, and non folding. They also auction high end knifes like Benchmade. It seems like you got a junk box that was picked through.

I've used this trick in airports, courthouses and other places that won't allow me to carry my knife. I go outside and find a planter or other good hiding spot and stash my knife in a well hidden area. When I leave the building I go pick it up and go on my way. Saves me from walking back to my vehicle or office to get rid of it. Do it at the airport if you can find a good spot. Even the parking garage has some good hiding places. When you get back from your trip go pick up your knife. Course this only works at your home airport. I carry an expensive knife but I'd throw it in the trash before I let TSA have it. If there is time I'd even find someone arriving that looks like they would appreciate it and give it to them Anyone but those thieving TSA agents.

Man, I had a key-style mini knife that I've used for years (mostly to open packages) only to get it confiscated by security at Great America. This happened in 2019 and I'm still salty about it, can only image how many people got their favorite knifes confiscated here.

If this many knives are taken routinely, you should be able to pick-up a knife at the other end of your trip. One identical, or at least similar. They could hand you a chit to be redeemed later.

Knives like this get sold by the box several times a month on a certain auction site. This was a box of "no name" knives they sell, typically goes for just a couple hundred dollars. There's usually a box of all swiss army knives, gerber knives, kershaw knives, sometimes buck knives and others.

I’ve been using a Workpro 2-in-1 knife and boxcutter for work the last two weeks(fast food, I need to open/cut up a lot of boxes) and I already cant imagine not carrying a knife like that daily. It’s been so damn useful at work I’ve started carrying it around during my off days and even had coworkers ask for it a couple times
@tgafire872 ай бұрын
I think the reason why you don’t see any nice knives is because people who have them aren’t going to “forget” they had it going thru security. And probably TSA snagging the few name brands they confiscate.

The knives that the blades are loose just need a new washer in most cases, you can take the blade off and add a new one easily and resell the knives especially if you score a good brand folder.

The State of Michigan auctions confiscated knives fairly often.. The price that the boxes go for is quite high and there is no shipping, you have to go to the warehouse and pick up the boxes. Too many buyers willing to pay too much for a chance to find a deal.

I strongly suspect a lot of TSA confiscated knives seen on eBay are actually not what they say. I see too many lots with all the same knife, or a very small selection. Logic tells me there would be a wide variety.
@andreadavide5 ай бұрын
Clearly, if it weren't for the hypothesis that the best ones don't make the auction block, I would say that the Americans' taste in pocket knives is very bad. Another explanation is that if you were smart enough to choose a real Victorinox, then you are smart enough not to carry it at the TSA gate

It astonishes me that so many idiots still try to board a flight while carrying a blade! Do these people actually think or read any of the info!? There are so many signs and notices clearly stating that you cannot. It's pretty obvious when booking your flight!! Either wrap it and pack it as checked baggage, (assuming you have already checked your particular blade is in fact legal to own/ carry at your destination), or just leave the damned thing at home! Incredible.
