According to the TSA website, round-bladed and butter knives are allowed in carryon and checked baggage. But are the TSA people going to give me trouble about it? I may just have time to run back to PB and pick out something else...
The issue is a butter knife has no serrated edge. a dinner knife does. Even though it isnt a big deal, a true butter knife that is smooth all across its edge will be allowed and a dinner knife with the little tiny serrations wont be allowed.
