Ridge Runner Black Belt With Hidden Knife - Adjustable Canvas Belt, TPU Buckle, Black Stainless Steel Partially Serrated Blade,

I bought one of these belts around 10 years ago, and I still wear it all the time. In the picture you can see some mild wear from my weight fluctuation, and although the buckle is scratched, it's not very noticeable because of the solid material. It's the most durable belt I've ever owned. It's reasonably comfortable (sometimes it digs when your sitting, so I just tuck in my shirt..or sit up straight!) So I bought a backup to travel with. So far in my travels, I have been with friends that just love it. So I have given it to them. So here I am happily purchasing this belt for a fourth time. So please BUDK don't ever stop selling this belt!! I've read other reviews where people have had trouble with the clasp, I have had no trouble whatsoever. As a matter of fact, I enjoy the full range of adjustability. Seems to me poking holes in the nylon will make it fray and eventually fall apart. As for it laying flat, I just bent the hook that attaches to the clasp. I have been everywhere from the metro courthouse to LA nightclubs with this belt. I have had no trouble. I have blatantly shown them and they still can't tell. The only place I won't take it is through airport security. So if you're reading this, scroll back up and buy this belt! You will not be disappointed.

Totally unsuspecting and wear it everyday. Furthermore, it's actually a pretty good looking belt. From reading other reviews I knew I'd have to make my own holes to prevent the handle from sticking out, so I didn't spend any time trying to use the metal clasp that came with it. Took a metal gouge and heated it with a torch. Slid through easy enough. No more than 15 minutes to poke 3 different holes for adjustable sizes. Blade is sharp enough out of the box, but is even better after a little attention. They should make this belt with pre-cut holes, but I like it enough that a 4 star review would be misleading. I have a 36' waist and have 10-12 inches extra. Will comfortably fit up to a 44' waist

Simple is better when it's a last ditch option, from the losing position, quickly deployed and it's a game changer. Never see it coming, that's the point. Bravo Bud K!

Sharpens easily, convenient. The handle sticks out and is noticeable. I feel like it is not too stealthy and could be spotted easily. I will try the advise below and remove the metal buckle and put holes in the webbing to fasten the knife. Perhaps it will lay flatter. Webbing is very thin.

The belt buckle at first stands out rather far. The way this was handled was by removing the adjustable hole, and then punching new holes into the belt itself with a hole puncher. After punching the holes where you want them, simply take a match and burn the hole so they are hard (the same way you do when you cut the tip for sizing it to you). You can now leave it and use it or install some hole caps. Ether way this brings it vary close and lets it look much more like a normal belt. They will last almost two years before the stitching from the holster will start to come away from the belt, after witch it’s just time to get a new one. The full aluminum buckle has been the longest lasting one so far. Hope this helps anyone else and enjoy them cause they are nice to have.

This is an excellent product. I have entered numerous concerts, sporting events with my belt...never a problem. Yes, the metal detector goes off...but, its only a belt buckle. The only issue with this product is that the buckle eventually loosens and comes off the metal portion of the knife. I am in the process of applying epoxy to it...hopefully it adheres stronger than before. Great product ...that needs the buckle to knife connection reinforced.

Was really looking forward to getting this belt. However once it's fastened it not flush like a regular belt buckle, one side sticks out making it noticeable. My guess is that it's designed that way. I don't think the average Joe will notice it from far away, but if someone is very close to you and checking you out, it doesn't look like a normal belt. I think it's a great idea and not a bad design, but I think it could be a little better.

This is a good idea, but when it's actually buckled together it's not flush, it sticks out and what's the point of that?!! It's obvious, it's not natural looking (belt-wise), and I am truly disappointed. Then when I reached out to customer service via email, my response what "I think it's supposed to be that way". Seriously?!? That's the best you can do? First of all he didn't even know what product I was referring to, so I have no trust in his advice. Secondly, it's obviously incorrect advice. What a shame...

I have had this knife for a couple months now, and i have only had to use this knife once, and the self defense capabilities are somewhat questionable, but 9/10 will get the job done. This is a great belt which lets you feel secure knowing you have protection, i recommend anyone who interacts with various people do own this. This belt is so concealable that you could probably wear it in most places :P but i don't really recommend you wear it in places you could get into trouble.

Very well made and completely stealthy. You will never guess someone has one on them until they tell you.

Great product! I have bought two of these, the quality and reliability is excellent for the price.

I bought this belt a few years ago and have worn no other belt since. It's durable and holds up well. I just bought another one as a spare. I see the reviews for the newer version are a little iffy, but the one I bought gets a lot of compliments and nobody knows it harbors a knife. As a public servant, facing different kinds of people at all hours of the day and night, it's nice to know I have a little back-up if ever needed. So far, haven't had to go that far, but it's nice to know it's there.

this is the 2nd time I have purchased this item. The first one had a better quality web belt thicker. The new one is 1/2 that thickness. I had to bend the retaining hooks so the handle did not stick up

Excelent

i bought this sometime ago. and still no one has noticed that this is also a knife. and i where is everywhere when i need to wear a belt. i even wore it to work afew times. and people think its just a regular belt. i did show one person what it was and they we're shocked about what it really was, and said they must have one themselves. i would reconmend it to others to buy as something interesting to own and keep on them just in case something bad would happen.

Now THIS is a great item. I have yet to met someone that knew I was wearing this without prior knowledge of me telling them.... and I tuck in my shirt so you can clearly see the belt. The blade can lock into the belt, which is usually how most people will have it, but it will be a tad stiff coming out when locked, unless you watched some of those informational videos on this showing you. All in all its a great buy. I will buy this for friends and family.

I had to gorilla glue the buckle/blade but after that its great.

Dear friends,
I got to express my order today, thank you for your cooperation. I have one question if we can demonstrate the assembly of the Model TS-BLTKNF1? Please note that the size of my 42 + belt.
Sincerely,
Mirsad

Haha dis belt is sick I b wearing it n dey all look at it but have no idea its knife till I show dem. Its sharp blade too :D

The buckle is not as pictured, it's all black, which I prefer. It did come off after I pulled it out a few times so I will try JB weld. Overall, worth the money.
