I would like to comment on answer given to the above question.

Normally, you will not get past security with a 5 inch kirpan. I have had my kirpan taken away. You can risk it, but you might 1: loose your kirpan 2: be considered a security threat and risk not being allowed on your flite. Air India may be lenient. U.S. airports and foreign airlines are not lenient.

Be safe, carry a kirpan no larger than 2 inches.
