One can’t find a knife or a dagger in a pinch either. Therefore, a belt cutter knife belt is the best solution. It is the best stealth weapon as it hides in plain sight.

The spring release mechanism makes it safer to carry in a bag or packs. It does not require a pouch or cover either. The best-built knives in this category are like mini survival packs.
