I am traveling to Israel at the end of this week, and wish to carry a Kershaw Blur 1670 for protection and as a tool, as I will be digging on an archeology site. From my research, I haven’t found any relevant information to assisted opening knives’ legality (or illegality) in Israel anywhere on the internet. I would of course be placing the knife in my checked luggage, right next to a Marshalltown digging trowel (in an attempt to make it look less suspicious). However, the knife is my friend’s, and if it will be confiscated, I’d rather not have to buy him a new one, so the risk to take it is more complex. I fully expect to have all of my luggage searched, along with my companions and their luggage as well, but have nothing to hide. I should also mention that I am a 20 year old male, and will have my Eagle Scout rank certification card in my wallet in a perhaps vain attempt to again, not appear as a threat. Will this have any effect? Can anyone please shed some light on this situation for me? Responses ASAP would be great! Thanks.
