HSR 7/7 - 14/02
Hidden Knives
These knives can be easily concealed inside a sheath, which attaches to a belt by two belt loops. Each knife is made of stainless steel and measures 8 ½ inches in length. If a sheath such as this can hold two knives, it may not out of the question to also carry a handcuff key or other items. Law enforcement personnel should pay particular attention for items such as these, especially when searching or handcuffing suspects.
Belt Buckle Dagger
This belt buckle conceals a 3-½ inch stainless steel push dagger and has a metal plate on the front for engraving. Many concealed weapons like this are wearable and could easily be confused as normal items. While this weapon would most likely alarm a metal detector, security personnel should be aware that buckles such as this may conceal a blade and it may be something other than the metal faceplate setting off the alarm.
