Belt buckle knives

 Just fishing for opinions. Been reading for a while, and have yet to come across a conversation about them. Can't leave without mine.

Not gonna lie. Not skilled enough to send pictures, but will get to that point ASAP. I own a sterling silver Marine Corp logo version, as well as plain version. One for work, and one for "civilian attire". Wanna see what's out there, and read about Legality? Check out Bucklehead.com   Search Legal

Not legal to carry here, but legal to collect.

I own an inexpensive foldable kept in the buckle with a magnet, smaller than my SAK.

I always wondered how good I'd be in a knife fight with my pants around my ankles!   :ahhh

Seriously I used to be into all kinds of concealable and tactical knives and I had a few but that was back in the days before you had smaller makers making high dollar, decent quality ones so I never really paid much attention to them.  I had them, they served a purpose and life went on.

Nowadays, I can't see much point in them...

Not necessarily. many models leave the part of the buckle that keeps belt closed on the pants.

Yes but I prefer the ones where it's the whole buckle so that way when I draw my knife and my opponent starts laughing uncontrollably I can get in a few good kicks!  :D

Most of them were obvious as hell . I had a double eded Bowen , but I was much younger then . I have seen a couple of custom ones that were virtually undetectable , best I ever saw was made by Gary Kelly . Very hard to justify as a tool , even where they aren't prohibited .

One for work. One for play. Use it all the time. Great when hands are full. Faster than retrieving from pocket, and I am constantly getting faster.

I wouldn't wear one. Too close to my meat and potatoes :o  and also could be considered as a concealed weapon.

 I understand your concern. I have worn one every day for at least 4 years, and have never had one detach. It is no more concealed than a knife inside your pocket. Especially in an environment where your shirt is tucked in. If interested the website discusses legality.

It's hard to get a few good kicks in when your pants are around your ankles.  Your opponent will most likely be the one getting in a few good kicks when you trip over your own pants.  :P
