Can I carry a ceramic knife in the cabin baggage?

Anything that looks like a weapon is not allowed in the carry on, and this is pre 9-11. A long time ago I once caused quite a stir at LHR and EWR with a key chain shaped as a gun, the size of a thumb.

Knives don’t go in carry-on, period. (maybe really small ones, depending on the country.) The material the knife is made of doesn’t matter. Ceramic, wood (ebony will hold a nice edge), bone, flint and so on have all made fine weapons millenia before steel.

If you do pack a non-metallic weapon in the darker corners of your carry-on, and they find it, you could be up on an “artful concealment” charge, which is usually very serious. In contrast, a Crocodile Dundee grade Bowie knife will usually not cause any substantial grief – hiding the beast is impossible, you’ll just get pointed back to baggage check.

No. Restricted items may only be carried in checked luggage. However, Singapore Airlines permits you to check at least 30 kg for free, so I would suggest you simply check your carry-on luggage.
