Will customs allow me to bring a knife into a country or will they take it away?

I brought a Gerber multi tool which contained a knife to Russia a few years ago. Just keep it in your checked luggage and not your carry on.

I think you should call customs first and find out.

If Customs won't let you bring your pocket knife in, you can buy everything from Bowie knives to switchblades at vendor stalls near Metro stations. Kitchen cutlery and Swiss Army Knives, almost any knife you could want is available.
