Belt Buckle Knife

[STRIPES]

post us a video Ken when you get yours.
See how long it takes to "master" that quick draw technique in the video.
I'll admit, I'm tempted to get one myself.
I use my knife about 300 times a day unwrapping pallets,
so it'd save me a lot of holstering and unholstering my gerber.

My knife came in and have been meaning to give a report then the R3 purchase came up.

When the buckle got here, I couldn't figure out how to get it apart. I swear, I pulled, pushed tugged every which way and could not get the knife to separate from the buckle. Felt like a fool and called the guy who makes them. His wife answered and said he was not in and could she help me. I told her the problem and I could tell she was somewhat amused. After about 30 seconds of coaching, the knife pretty much jumped into my hand. It is really a trick set up. I love it. I am not as fast as the video but getting faster with opening the blade.

The knife is so ingeniously configured, I was tempted to wear it the airport when going to NC. MB decided for me not to at the last moment. Being that I couldn't get the knife to separate when I first got it makes me wonder how/why anyone would look twice at it.

Having trouble w photobucket......

Would STRONGLY advise NOT to take it to the airport...

Remember that your items are run through xray, so that blade would probably show up and I don't know about you, but I rather have my love life boring that sharing it with "bubba"....

I agree, but.... The way the knife is folded and encapsulated with the buckle (which is also of the same metal.... I doubt the blade portion would show.

You can get away with it. Just remove your belt with buckle and put it in the basket along with your keys, wallet, etc. They usually dont think twice. Its when you look guilty, they watch closely.

Are there laws in Australia that state that you cant own a folding knife or belt buckle knife?

It cant be considered a concealed weapon because of the definition of concealed. The buckle is in plain sight.

Sure are .. can't carry a folding knife and you're off to court if caught with a belt-buckle (or any concealed) knife. You can own folders but can't carry them on you ... leatherman type you'll get away with... dependant who and where you are.

A folding knife is considered concealed??

I think most places it is defined by blade length. Where I live it's 4 inches. Over that is considered a concealed weapon unless carried out in plain view. Interesting gadget - doesn't seem to be anything for a leftie though.

It is if it's in your pocket ,boot etc... Carry it out in the open and you'll probably get tazered in Queensland , South Australia and Canberra. Flash one in NSW, Victoria and The Territory and they'll probably shoot you dead.

I work for an airline and I fly a lot. Trust me the TSA have no sense of humor so unless you enjoy a full body cavity search and small rooms don't try to take one of these in your carry on bag or on your person. Put it in your checked bag.
