According to CATSA guidelines, palette knives—used in painting or cake decorating—typically have a flexible stainless steel blade and a wooden or plastic handle. If the blade has a sharp edge, it must be 6 cm (2.4 in.) or less, measured from the joint (fulcrum) to the tip, to be allowed in carry-on baggage. Longer or sharper blades must be packed in checked baggage.
