Its the "Male" into "Female" Buckle of course!!![]()
What is the proper name of this kind of buckle? Which country invented this principle of closing the pouch?
It was used by many countries in old times (On a photo - earlier US ammo pouch for a Vietnam war), now it is used by germans and brits (and maybe someone else).
But when I ask people how you call it they say different things. Your suggestions?

Top pouch is for the US M14 rifle. Also made to attach a grenade to each side.
I made the pouch on the third photo
Well, it can be opened in second, harder to close, but I suppose it is more important to open the pouch in combat than to close it?
Some dude on DIYtactical.com told me that it is called "CITEK", wtf is this? cant find it in google
not sure of the name it is a one hand quick release buckle. Very reliable. Had one on the side of the backpack for quick dumping of the pack. With one hand we would just the cord and the whole thing would drop.
Back when the Spanish started using those they were called Staple Fasteners.
There must be an official army name for this thing in different countries! For example, I have a pdf book called "general fabric repair" for US army (This document is from the old times - all mentioned gear hardware is metal and the only fabric is heavy canvas). There they use very strict official names for different buckles, but unfortunately the buckle like I am interested in is not mentioned...
AFAIK the buckle is not US military issue. I think it is european. Probably english.
this is the shealth for the aitor commando knife. If you can find the description of the knife or call the company they will probably be able to tell you.
