With that said, we believe these knives to be legal in all 50 states. This is only our opinion and you must do the research yourself. To our knowledge, the only states that mention belt buckle knives are California and Nevada. Should you decide to wear the knife in California or Nevada, we reccomend Printing out the section of code which defines the law concerning belt buckle knives.
In the California Penal code, PC 12020 mentions a belt buckle knife. It is our opinion that this law was written concerning the spade like weapon which is made as an integral part of a belt buckle. We believe that is why the word integral is used to describe it, when you pulled the knife out, your belt fell off. Ours is a completely different design, which is really a belt buckle which is a holder for a knife.
The beginning of the code states that "all belt buckle knives are illegal". This is the part of the code that most police officers will remember. The code goes on later to define a belt buckle knife as having a blade length of over 2 1/2 inches and also being an integral part of the buckle. Our belt buckle knife is neither of these. This is the part of the code that you should know and carry and also know the meaning of the word integral. Not all officers are familiar with the latter part of the code.You can find the code at http://www.leginfo.ca.gov
Nevade law found in NRS 202.350 and says "Knife which is made an integral part of a belt
buckle...". If you plan on carrying this knife in Nevada you better know the code.
