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!

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.

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.

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.

Dear friends,<br />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.<br />Sincerely,<br />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

Everything about this belt is perfect. the knife is sharp, suprisingly it fits in your hand really good to. no matter how you like to hold it. and the best part that i was worried about was "would it stay in the belt" well it does, that sucker isnt comin out unless you want it to. and not only does it stay in the belt but it comes out fairly easy. its a great design. and of course yes nobody knows its a knife. unless you tell them. you dont even look at it twice. 5 stars easy.

This item is awesome and 100% concealable. And to those who read this review before purchasing, there is a way to adjust the waist; the little black thing with the tiny hole acts as a clasp, simple pull up on the flap with the hole and it should loosen up to be able to adjust for a perfect fit. All in all great item 5/5.

FASTEST SHIPPING EVER! I bought this for a valentines day for my boyfriend and he is going to LOVE IT! I purchased it so far in advance thinking I would need to give myself time just in case the shipping took a week or so... I ordered it Monday during my lunch and recieved it today (wednesday) during my lunch. WOW. I WILL be ordering from here a lot! I just wish I could tell my boyfriend about this website now in stead of having to wait 3 weeks....

This is an awesome buy. I always wear this belt, and the only people that know about the knife are people I tell. I use the knife at work to open boxes and none has noticed it that's how stealthy it is. Yeah the hook system was a little confusing at first but its easy once you figure it out. the belt is intentionally way too long so you have to trim it to your size but that's all good. This belt isn't for people who show off. And a warning do not drop the knife on tile if you do the glue that holds the wood buckle and blade can come unstuck. This can be dangerous but moderate care will prevent it and it is easily stuck back together. If it won't stick use super glue it works just as well.

This belt knife is excellent for everyday use. The belt is 1.25" thick and the only complaint I could say about it is that the buckle is black wood glued to a metal blade. Under extreme use, I managed to separate the buckle from the blade but JB weld fixed that problem. I surprise a LOT of people when they ask about my belt or if I use the knife for utility purposes.

I love it! Sleek and stealthy. Comes sharpened and easily pierces through the epidermis. The belt is nice too.

This thing is AWESOME! Sleek, easily adjustable, easy to release the blade. I bet this system would be an even quicker draw than the illegal stiletto blades! The only biffs I have with it are the fact that the fake-buckle part of the belt (the handle of the blade) angles out a little far, but this does make it easier to wrap your hand around. By the way, this is NOT a folding knife. It's a fixed blade that you simply remove from the buckle. There's a hidden sheath for the blade underneath the exposed belt section. If you pull the blade out too aggressively the latch for the belt attachment might detach.

Im in love with this belt. It makes me feel like a ninja whenever I wear it :P<br /><br />The nylon cord was waaaay too long for me, so I cut it then singed the end so it wouldnt unravel, worked like a charm. Yes the belt IS nylon but its not cheap and the belt looks great, totally concealed.<br /><br />Buy this, you wont regret it. 5/5

I have not used it a ton to give it a fair review, but I must say that it is better than what I thought. Very quick to draw and a good looking belt. For the price, it can't be beat. Matter of fact, I couldn't find anything in a non-folding knife that would do what this does. Very clever design.

i wear this as an everyday belt. you most likely need to cut the belt and melt the end and i bent the hook on the buckle just a bit to conceal it a little better. great buy overall.

Great belt, very sharp, but watch out when putting it on you may slice yourself

A WONDERFULL item! Even if it's just for peace of mind. I don't leave my house without it....ever. Hey! Better to have it & not need it than to need it & not have it.....

This thing is perfect as a belt. The wooden part of the buckle ended up coming off, but the knife is still well hidden and this is still the best belt I've ever had. I wear it whenever I need a belt.

Dudes and this blade is one of my best buys buy far. it does not wiggle move or come lose. Where I go it goes its awesome.

well shipping time is always good with this site. and the belt/knife combo is cool. it takes a bit of getting used to cause the side will press against you but its not a issue.<br />its easy to adjust too which is nice. and the blade...not that sharp though but it does have an edge so its ok. and it has a good grip. i'd say worth buying, just be careful where you take it.

i love this the blade is sharp. when i first ordered it i was kind of worried because im a big guy an i didnt think it would fit me but it did. absolutly love it. oh an i ordered on a thursday night an it came on saturday aftersoon.

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.

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

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.

A great form of inconspicuous protection. Never seen a design like this. The belt fastens and the buckle/knife slides on top. As stated below the buckle is actually black wood with the knife cheaply glued down but with any decent adhesive of your choice it becomes an easy fix. It would not be my personal preference to use it for utility purposes but hey, to each their own. The fastening system is also quite shoddy, but once again an easy fix. Melt a hole to your size and voila, a fully functioning, one-of-a-kind belt knife.

Cool item belt needs a little adjustment here and there but awesome blade

pretty smooth, very well hidden, but the belt buckle came off the knife after a week, nothing a little super adhesive couldn't fix though

Very functional, blade comes very sharp.<br />The locking mechanism for the knife is two bumps and for the belt its a hook and a hole. Could've been designed better but still very worth the buy.

It doesn't come very sharp, but that is fixable. It sticks out a little more than it should, but I can bend that piece. Overall it is pretty cool, just don't be stupid and wear it places you shouldn't.

the belt is kindof a pain in the butt to adjust and the way it hooks together is hard to deal with. <br /><br />the knife is simply amazing. it stays in place without moving what so ever. but when you need it it slides out like butter. it comes sharp and is concealed exceptionally well.<br /><br />if your looking for a sleek belt, and a better way to protect yourself. this belt is it

it is a great item but i have trouble with the cover staying on the handle but if you have super glue it should not be a problrm

The design is simple which I like, the blade itself comes out very easy but remains secure. Not for quick re-sheathing though. The fasting system could have bee better designed but overall, for the price, I'm satisfied.

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.

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 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

The blade is cool, the belt is cool, I just wish it came with an instruction booklet, because I can't figure out how to adjust the belt...

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...
