One of ours had his butter knife confiscated by TSA and used the axe to spread peanut butter on his bagel.

I believe the crew used the axe to get of the cockpit of the Kalitta crash in Bogata.

Bad one. Miracle any survived. Spit some blades on one, cobbed the rest & lost another. Set her down on a semi-flat hilltop?

Once in Calgary, 'airport security' there confiscated my plastic knife...you know, the kind you can get at any fast-food restaurant, coffee shop, on the airplane, etc etc etc. "This is a dangerous prohibited item," I was told.

So I just smiled, nodded, walked a few meters to the Tim Horton's beyond security, and grabbed five more 'dangerous prohibited items.'

Nitwits...

The FO in the Horizon Dash-8-100 crash at Seatac in the 80's attempted to break the cockpit window with the crash axe and ended up with a nice scar on his forehead when it bounced off the undamaged window right into his noggin.
