I think I already know the answer but...

I'd bring one, but it would be my double bladed cheap one I bought at my b&m for 5 bucks, not my Xikar.

I took my Xikar on the flight and my cruise. Again, it was in checked luggage.

I don't think you can bring the cutter on in carry on, I put all my stuff (lighter and cutter) in my checked bag with all my shaving needs. Although if you were only going for a short time and didn't want to check anything you might consider a key chain punch I would think you could get away with it since its unlikely most of TSA would object to such.

When I flew a couple weeks ago, I had my cutter on my carry on. They saw it on the x-ray and had to check it to make sure you can't separate it and use it as a blade. Also, in Canada you are allowed to carry on bic lighters, but not torch lighters.

In case you do decide to bring it on as a carry-on - print out the TSA web information. Doesn't matter if it's policy or not, if the TSA agent doesn't know about it - they have final say.

Also - since I know you have a zippo - if you get one of these, you can bring it - prefilled - as checked baggage:

I can attest that you can definitely bring them on. They are on the permitted items list for TSA and I have been on several flights lately where I carried on a palio and a xikar respectively.
