Should do, if anything, you may get stopped at customs and just explain what it is, can't see them taking it off you. Just put some flippers and other swimming stuff in aswell so its not just a random knife on its own and nothing to back your story up.

Hold luggage should be OK but that's a complete guess.

You can transport firearms on planes in the hold so i think you'll be OK with a knife

Its a pretty grey area eh! I've been looking for a definitive answer and it appears there is none.

I've bought knives abroad and brought them back in my suitcase without bother in the past.

Best thing to do would be ring your airline and ask them

Yes you can, I had to go on a college trip to Manchester Airport once, someone who worked there said they only scan for things that would resemble drugs or bombs, he said knifes and guns get through

My dad brought some knives back from US, if it's fine there I'd guess it's fine anywhere.
