In the late 1950's, D.H. Russell, owner of a cutlery store in Toronto, designed The Original Canadian Belt Knife. Demand for this new design was so great that he brought an experienced cutler from Czechoslovakia to make the knives.

However, all other belt buckle knives we know of were there including the Gerber Touche' Belt Buckle, the Valois knives belt knife, the C.A.S. Iberia Belt knife, and the Bowen belt knife. Be careful about carrying any of those knives, some may be illegal. Our belt buckle knife is both under 2 1/2 inches and is not an integral part of the buckle. In California a belt buckle knife has to be both over 2 1/2 inches and an integral part of the buckle to be illegal. In Nevada, it has to be integral. We are not aware of any other states having laws concerning belt buckle knives.
