Customs in UAE

I'm going to DXB later this year for travel. I've never been there before and I'm trying to figure out if I can take a Leatherman and/or a small utility knife in my checked luggage. I'm going for work and these are tools I use at work but I don't know if UAE would classify them as weapons. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks. One more strange question. Do I have to declare this when coming into the country or do they just don't care at all?

I wouldn't worry about declaring it if its in your checked luggage. Worse case scenario is they'll just confiscate it.

I had a laser pointer in my checked luggage once, and they picked it up on X-ray, and I had to sign some form allowing them to destroy it.
