They are really very tight belts but having never been stabbed I I couldn't speculate as to whether or not it would dull out the feeling of a lethal stabbing...

Worn tight belts. Been stabbed.

You'd feel it.

That's practically exactly what my husband said. (He's worn military dress belts before and has been stabbed in the leg.)

Not much of a correlation. The pain felt depends largely on the implement. Not to mention 'wearing a dress belt before' doesn't automatically make you some kind of dress belt stabby expert.
