WOW!!!! Where did you get that thing?? I love it!! That would be a lot handier than the 3 foot + long one I carry in my vehicle, and it has a lot
more "intimidation" power, it seems to me.

It's called the "Tom Brown tracking knife" Trackerschool.com..
It was a gift, but I believe you can get one from above site..VERY usefull in the bush, and to have under the seat

Once at G. Negro I was pulled over at the military inspection
stop by a very animated machine gun weilding member of
the Mexican Army. He started out with the usual inspection
of the car and the gruffly asked if I had any co ka een na.
I was so road weary I said what ? gallinas? he madly replied
NO!! DRUGS! COCAINE! MARIJUANA!! I said no he then asked if I had ANY ARMAS? Wanting to cover all my bases after upseting him with the drug thing I
sheepishly presented him
with a 12inch long fillet knife that I had under the seat.
This infuriated him. NO!! not knives GUNS!RIFLES!! PISTOLAS!!
Sorry sir thats all I have. After commenting on what a nice
radio cassette player I had and looking in to the ice chest
with the repulsed look of a vampire toward garlic when he saw it was filled with fish he let me go.
The army does not seem to get too excited over knives, but
I have seen some local police question the need of carrying
some of the larger knives in the city.
I had a buddy

get his locking blade Buck knife confiscated by the policia as a condition for entering Hussong's. They told him he could reclaim it at the police
station.
He didn't retrieve it; not knowing whether it was legal to possess or not. This was in the 80s.
I have never had my fillet knife questioned. If a machete is overlooked, I'd say a fillet knife is OK.
