Can I take a metal knife and fork through airport security?

score:7

Accepted answer

From the US side, the TSA run a website, giving generic advice on whether items can taken as carry-on, in checked luggage, or not at all. Note the important disclaimer that the final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint, but searching for "utensils" gives the response:

Carry On Bags: Yes

Checked Bags: Yes

Knives, except for plastic or round-bladed butter knives, are not allowed in carry-on bags.

So, you're likely to be ok with the fork and the spoons, but the table knife is liable to be confiscated.
