I travel quite a bit and this can be a little tricky when traveling with guns and knives. However, it is very possible to travel with a pistol and knife (except for when you are actually in the airport). Just lock your pistol in a hard case and pack the ammo in the original box and put your sheathed knife in your checked luggage. BE SURE to DECLARE it at the baggage check. After you get to your destination, pull it out and stick it in your pocket.
There are some stipulations though- click here to read the special instructions from the government about bringing a firearm onboard.
TWA says: Knives including sabers, swords, hunting knives, souvenir knives, martial arts devices with blades are accepted in checked baggage. NOTE: Any sharp objects in checked baggage should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and inspectors.
Just keep in mind that if you travel overseas, guns and some knives may be considered illegal- so, check first to avoid problems.
