![]() Brass knuckles are metal-encased knuckles with a hole for the thumb and three spikes extending from the fist. They were commonly carried by criminals to make an intimidating display and intimidate potential victims and their potential witnesses. This intimidation tactic was useful because it was difficult to identify victims through "rough justice" (i.e., unlawful killings) without onlookers stepping forward to identify perpetrators. The knuckles generally had a length of between 3 and 5 inches, and were usually made from either copper, brass or steel. Brass was more expensive than either metal. It was said that the more expensive the metal used in brass knuckles, the higher the social class of criminal one was. Still, no matter at what price they were made, knuckles were never common until well into the 20th century. Some common ways of using brass knuckles had evolved, such as the cuff. This is where two knuckle dusters are placed on the inside of the knuckle of one's fist. This provides more strength and produces less noise than slapping with just one, making it safer for one to use. By placing two or more inside each knuckle, this would also provide extra protection against cuts, scratches and stinging strikes by other objects. "Two-fisted" came to be associated with knuckles by way of The Two Fisted Ladies of Cripple Creek, a gang of female bank robbers that robbed several banks in Colorado during the 1920s and 1930s. Brass Knuckles: An Overview Of History The history of knuckles begins in England in the late 1700s or early 1800s. They were made of lead, and had spikes on either side. They did not become popular until the 1890s after George Dubois put them on the market. Knuckles are an effective way to inflict pain without doing any damage to the victim, therefore they are often used by law enforcement for subduing suspects without injuring them. Brass knuckles are also the most popular type of knuckleduster because they are widely available and relatively cheap to purchase. It Is Possible To Get Various Forms Of Brass KnucklesBrass knuckles consist of two prongs that protrude from the fist when in use. The prongs usually have an opposing curve to them when viewed from the top, middle, or bottom, depending upon each individual's preference. These curves can be parallel to one another, elliptical in shape, or even triangular in nature. The number of prongs can vary between two and ten depending upon personal preference. Despite what type of brass knuckles you may use, you can still inflict pain on your victim just by punching with the knuckles. Modern knuckles are made of brass, steel, lead, or any mixture of these three materials. Brass is commonly used in the manufacturing of modern knuckles because it is lightweight but durable. You can even purchase imitation knuckles made out of plastic or rubber if you do not want to pay for the genuine article. These are legal in most states, but they are not as effective in attacking your victim. Knuckles can be either open or closed. Open brass knuckles are usually flat with a set of prongs protruding from the end. The open design is less likely to injure the user's fingers during use. Closed knuckles have an enclosed design, which makes gripping the weapon much easier, but it is also harder to conceal on your person when in use. Using Brass Knuckles Yo Defend Yourself There's a saying that goes: "Never bring a knife to a gunfight." People often forget, though, that this is just as true for self-defense weapons as it is for guns — knives and brass knuckles just might not be as effective as you think. The knuckles have long been used for self defense, but they're not the best choice. Knives are sharp. Brass knuckles are knuckles. What's the difference? Revolver's answer is simple: knives are designed to cut, while knuckles are designed to crack skulls. That's how they work, and that's what they do best . Knives have been used in hand-to-hand combat for thousands of years, and people have been using knuckle dusters for self-defense since the dawn of the modern age. That's a lot of history, but it's also a lot of time to find flaws in both weapons. ![]() If you're like me, you've probably seen people sporting brass knuckles in a variety of movies and television shows. But, what are they and where did they come from? The earliest known reference to an object similar to modern-day knuckles is from Ancient Greece. The Greeks used metal or leather guards on their hands during boxing matches for extra protection against injury.
By about the 17th century, Europeans had begun manufacturing these metal boxing gloves and using them for self-defense purposes as well as actual boxing matches. The knuckles were simply made of metal or leather and consisted of a metal strip wrapped around the hand. The cestus was used primarily by fighters, sailors, and gladiators for self-defense purposes. During the 1800s, two knuckle guards were made with a piece of rubber instead of metal. They featured slots designed to fit over the knuckles and were often decorated with symbols, figures, or inscriptions on them. The rings attached to these gloves were made from wood and covered with leather or animal skin for extra padding. These gloves resembled boxing mitts but lacked a thumb pad since their protection came from the knuckles alone. Specifications of Brass Knuckles Brass knuckles are a tool that is not intended to inflict serious physical damage, but rather intimidate and scare their target. These items are often made out of metal and covered in spikes and rivets, as well as other designs like sequins or jewels. They can be used offensively or defensively depending on the situation. Though they look particularly intimidating, these knuckles do not have any specific legal definition in most states. Because of this, it is difficult to determine when you might commit a criminal offense if you carry some with you. These knuckles are predominantly weapons of choice for brawlers, as well as the fight clubs that have popped up across the country. Although this might not be able to seriously harm you, it can still cause severe injuries if it comes into contact with your face or other vital area. They are also easily concealable and can be worn with many different types of clothing. Though these knuckles have no specific legal definition, they are considered weapons and are prohibited in most states. In California, they are considered deadly weapons and are illegal to possess within the state even if they were created outside of the state. The penalties for possessing brass knuckles may vary by jurisdiction. Popular Brass Knuckle Options: Different classes of brass knuckles have been developed for various purposes. Some are designed for protection, while others are designed to intimidate or inflict pain on an opponent. The type of the knuckle depends on its intended use, whether it is a self-defense weapon or a weapon used in fighting competitions. Here are some popular types: 1. Brass Knuckle Knives: The brass knuckle knives are very popular among law enforcers. They are specifically designed for self-defense and also used by military personnel and other such armed forces. A knuckle knife is shaped in such a way that it allows the user to grip it firmly. It can be attached to one's wrist or a belt. The material used for making knuckle knives is generally high-carbon steel, which makes them hardy and durable 2. The Kung Fu Knuckles: These are also popularly known as 'The Wing Chun Knuckles'. These knuckles have been specially developed to provide protection and self-defense during martial arts fights. The Kung Fu knuckles are made of cast iron or steel, which makes them very hardy and durable. They are attached to one's fist so that the user can effectively use them for striking the opponent's vital parts. The biggest advantage of these knuckles is that they can be used in case of a surprise attack by an aggressor when it is difficult to draw a knife or even a gun. 3. The Steel Knuckles: These iron or steel knuckles are also known as 'The Monkey Fist', 'The Hung Mun', and 'Hung Gar' knuckles. These are for self-defense only. They can be used to inflict pain by striking the opponent's vital parts, including the knuckles, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Moreover, they can be used while punching a person in order to prevent them from attacking. 4. The Alligator Claws: These are also known as 'The Gator Claws' or 'The Uncle Remus Claws'. Some people make these brass knuckles by decorating their fingers with crocodile skin or plastic grips. They are designed to frighten and intimidate the opponent instead of inflicting pain. These are mostly used in martial arts fights and can be attached to one's arm or held in a closed hand. 5. The Finger Claws: These brass knuckles are specially made for self-defense and do not inflict much pain on the opponent, rather they provide more control over one's punches. The finger claws are made of leather or steel, so they serve their purpose well. These knuckles can be used as decorative pieces too, but only if they come with a certificate that states that they are replicas of antique pieces. These items have been banned in many countries because of their association with crimes such as homicide and even assault. Dangers of Brass Knuckles: Brass knuckles are a type of weapon that is designed to inflict blunt force trauma on a person when the device is used in an attack. They are also sometimes called fist grips, knuckle dusters, or blackjacks, but they're best known by their original name. Since these knuckles were originally designed to make it easier for a person to punch someone else in the face without breaking their hand, these weapons have been illegal in many places for some time. It turns out there's quite a lot wrong with knuckles. The strongest argument against using knuckles for self-defense is that they can be dangerous. They are designed to cause serious injury in a single blow that will most likely leave your hand badly injured and your attacker with a broken nose unless you use them properly. If you hit someone with a knuckle, they might have to deal with the potential for serious injury for months or even a lifetime because of the way the knuckle itself is designed to transfer force. If you're really worried about someone breaking their hand, there are several other options than using these knuckles. The classic "back of the hand" strike is one of them. ![]() The police baton was an important part of the culture and history of military organizations before the invention of firearms. In 1864, Britain also introduced a "baton calling system" for their Yeomanry cavalry. It consisted of an officer holding a baton at shoulder height, with two armed soldiers flanking them. This is not the only method to signal commands or orders during marches or drills. Variations include tapping rifles, clapping hands, or stomping boots on the ground. The use of hand signals has remained in use today in military parades and drills but they are mainly used as communication between fellow soldiers rather than with civilians. The emergence of firearms rendered the baton obsolete on the battlefield since officers could now issue commands more quickly and in greater secrecy than with a baton. Today, its utility is more ceremonial. In the United States military, enlisted service members are referred to as "troops" and the highest-ranking enlisted member of a company is called a "Company First Sergeant". The first sergeants are assigned their own "first sergeants' baton". Company first sergeants carry their company's guidon into battle. However, as with any other weapon, the first sergeant's primary weapon is his or her rifle. An Overview of Police Baton Police baton is a common form of less-lethal weapons used by law enforcement officials. Batons are constructed with lightweight aluminum, steel, or other durable material for tacking down violent suspects. They are also made with polymers, rubber, or foam in order to minimize serious injuries. Typically, police officers can use batons at their discretion as a response to criminal activity and when those officers believe that their safety is in jeopardy due to disorderly conduct. You might have heard of the famous French policeman Jacques Mesrine who escaped from prison on eight separate occasions using his police baton as his weapon and tool of escape. Types of Police Baton:A police baton is a club that can be used for self-defense, riot control, and parades. They were developed in France in the 1880s and are mainly used by law enforcement and military organizations. Police typically use either a straight or expandable baton with an electroshock device. There are three types of these batons: 1) Straight Batons: Straight police bats are made of wood or metal rods cut to specific lengths and tapered at one end to form a handle while the other is sharpened into a point. Straight police batons can be made of plastic, fiberglass, or cultured marble. The baton is usually reported by officers as being either six feet or eight feet long with a maximum thickness and weight of nine ounces. 2) Expandable Batons: Made from metal rods, expandable batons have a rubberized end that expands from the handle for a better striking surface. They are typically one foot longer than the straight-handled baton. 3) Electroshock" Batons: Electroshock models are either collapsible or expandable and have an electroshock device in the grip end that is energized by electricity from built-in batteries. They can either be six to eight inches in length and made of rubber or plastic or as long as 12 inches and made of metal. Why Choose Straight Batons? Straight batons are typically used by police officers, military personnel, security guards, corrections officers, and emergency services personnel for self-defense. The straight police baton is used by police forces in many countries for any number of reasons, including the following: 1) The straight baton is a tough self-defense tool providing a wider striking surface area than other types of batons allowing the end user greater strength. It is also easier to use than a collapsible model because it requires less swinging. 2) The straight baton is a powerful tool for use in riot situations. It is capable of subduing a violent individual or groups of individuals particularly when used in conjunction with non-lethal means of control, including tear gas, gases, and smoke. 3) The straight baton can also be used for crowd control where it has proven effective as both a defensive and an offensive weapon when used against individuals who are violent or intent on breaching the peace. 4) A straight police baton can also be used to strike an inanimate object (such as a perpetrator's car door), kick, strike hard surfaces (like the ground), or scrape shingles off a roof to mark the perpetrator's location. As a self-defense weapon, a straight police baton is often used by women to defend themselves against men (particularly in some countries), since it is shorter than a man's forearm while being heavier than a woman's arm. In addition, the narrow grip makes it easier for a woman to wield effectively in close-quarter situations such as wrestling or fighting. Straight batons are more likely than other types of batons to cause injuries when used against non-human targets (which is of particular concern in North America due to the presence of mace). This is because the end of the baton has an edge and thus greater surface area for impact. Self-defense weapons can vary depending on the circumstances but can be anything from a knife to a stun gun. Some self-defense weapons are also used in everyday life as an effective means of attack. Here are some weapons that fall inside the realm of self-defense and so learn how to use them:
Stun Guns First and foremost, if you are ever in an encounter with a criminal, please contact the police. You should always notify the police when in danger because they are obligated to come to save your life. If you do not have a way to notify the police, or if you live in a state where calling 911 is not an option, then stun guns are good for self-defense. Stun guns emit electrical currents that immobilize people or disrupt their respiratory processes by stopping their heart rate. They can also cause temporary blindness. In short, they can cause you to lose consciousness or cause you to sustain serious injuries. Although there are many models available, the most popular is the small stun gun. It's small and easy to carry and can be used in self-defense situations. Pepper Spray Pepper spray is an effective way to protect yourself against threats. It immobilizes your attacker by temporarily blinding and causing severe breathing difficulties. Pepper sprays should be used at a distance when an attacker gets too close, not during an attack. The gas will reach its target in 15-25 seconds if used correctly. You should always practice using this product before you actually need to use it. Pepper sprays usually come in containers that hold about four ounces of the actual product. Pepper sprays can be stored in purses, bags, or pockets. They are legal in 49 states and are less likely than mace to cause damage other than to the attacker. The major risk involved with pepper spray is that it can hurt people besides your attacker if used carelessly. Defensive BatonsIt's never too early to protect yourself. In fact, even many, many decades ago, women were using self-defense weapons like these to fight off attackers in their own homes. They're designed for close-quarters combat and have the power necessary for the average person to use them against an assailant of any size and strength. Nowadays, you can use these same weapons to defend yourself against any attack. All it takes is a few minutes of practice, and you'll be able to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. A defensive baton is a commonly used less-lethal weapon that can be carried legally in most jurisdictions. Defending yourself with a police-grade defense baton will temporarily stun an assailant and give you time to escape the situation. Some training officers carry a short stick or baton as a secondary weapon to defend themselves. A smaller baton may be carried in some jurisdictions, but police departments often prefer a longer baton for increased reach, better striking, and more safety and control. Like all less-lethal defensive items, the police batons are designed to temporarily stun rather than kill the attacker. Their use should always be considered as an option as you never know what you'll encounter when in danger. Self-Defense Keychains Self-defense keychains are one of the best tools for any woman who would like to be more prepared for an uncertain world. They come in different shapes and sizes, with a variety of functions such as buckle releases, window breaks, and closed-door stops. They might not work as well as a Taser or pepper spray but they can serve their purpose during those unexpected times when you just don’t have your firearm strapped to your body. Self-defense keychains are small but can still be effective in the event that you need to deploy them. They are easy to carry and can even be placed inside your purse or coat pocket so you won’t forget to bring them with you wherever you go. They have a wide range of uses and can be used in almost any situation. These small self-defense weapons are great for slashing, scratching, and poking an attacker. They usually come with sharp points that can be used to defend yourself in case someone tries to grab your arms, throat, or other body parts. Brass Knuckles Brass knuckles are a popular item in the market but with good reason. These distinctive hand protectors have been used for centuries by cultures around the world as a form of self-defense. The self-defense weapons consist of metal plates fastened together with screws or rivets and typically have either a spike or stud on one end and sometimes a chain attached to the other end. Brass knuckles are mainly carried on the backside of the hand by affixing them to one's belt, but they can also be slipped into pockets when not needed. In recent years, these defensive weapons have seen new uses in street culture due to their fashionable appeal as well as their value for cash transactions during robberies. The Importance of Self-defense Weapons Today! People are always advised to exercise caution when out and about, especially when encountering strangers. Nowadays, there is a big deal about the safety and protection of personal property. This goes for your personal belongings like your laptop or tablet as well as for yourself.

These knuckles consist of a series of metal bars that fit over the top of the fingers and have a hand grip in the palm area. The metal bars are usually made of brass, but can also be made of other metals such as aluminum or steel.
The hand grip is usually padded with leather or some other soft material to help absorb impact and make these knuckles more comfortable to wear. While knuckle dusters are commonly associated with street gangs and violence, they can actually be used for self-defense as well. In some states, it is legal to carry these knuckles for self-defense purposes. So, what do you need to know about knuckle dusters? Read on for everything from history to how to use them for self-defense. Variants of Knuckle Dusters There are many types of brass knuckles on the market. Some are designed for self-defense, while others are made for use as a weapon in street fights or brawling. Here is a look at some of the most popular types of knuckle dusters: 1. Standard Knuckles These are the most common types of knuckles. They typically have a solid metal construction with no moving parts. They Slip over the fingers and fit snugly around the hand to provide a tight grip. 2. Spring-loaded Knuckles These brass knuckles have a spring-loaded mechanism that opens up the fingers when not in use. This allows for easier carrying and prevents accidental injury to the user. 3. Knuckle Dusters Knuckle dusters are more of a weapon than a self-defense tool. They usually have spikes or other sharp protrusions that can cause serious injury to an opponent. 4. Brass Knuckle Keys These types of knuckles double as a keychain so you can keep them close at hand when needed. They often have bottle openers or other useful features built into them as well. 5. Fingerless Knuckles As the name suggests, these knuckles do not have any metal extending over the fingers. This leaves the fingers free to grab or hold onto an opponent while still delivering a powerful punch. 6. Spiked Knuckles These knuckles feature spikes or other sharp protrusions extending out from the metal band. This can make them more dangerous than standard brass knuckles as they can cause serious puncture wounds when used in a fight. Reasons to Carry Brass Knuckles! These knuckles can be used in a number of ways, depending on the situation. They can be used to punch an attacker, which can cause serious injury. They can also be used to jab an attacker in the eyes or throat. Additionally, they can be used to block attacks or strikes from an assailant. When using knuckle dusters, it is vital to aim for vulnerable areas such as the nose, eyes, throat, solar plexus, groin, or knees. These areas are more likely to cause serious injury than other parts of the body. It is also important to remember that these knuckles are a weapon and should only be used in self-defense situations. Knuckle Dusters are often used as weapons. They can be used to punch, jab, or hit an opponent. Brass knuckles can also be used to deliver a knockout blow in a fight. In addition to being used as weapons, these knuckles can also be used as tools. They can be used to open bottles, pry open doors, or break windows. These knuckles can also be used to crush cans. Some people collect knuckles as novelty items. Others wear them as fashion accessories. These tools can also be used as paperweights or doorstops. ![]() Pepper spray is a chemical agent that can create severe burning sensations on any surface of the skin and in the eyes. Unlike tear gas, this spray does not cause serious damage to any other organs. It is an effective way to temporarily disable an assailant with a low risk of causing permanent injury or death. One type of spray is called oleoresin capsicum (OC) (also known as “pepper”). OC is made from cayenne peppers mixed with natural or synthetic oil, so it can work like soap when sprayed on someone’s skin and then spread around by hand. Other types include CS gas and CR gas, which are both gases. Why Does Pepper Spray Exist? The primary use of pepper spray is for military and police crowd control, usually against unarmed people who are not part of any organized resistance. However, it can also be used to defend oneself from wild animals or people by deliberately spraying them with an irritating agent such as tear gas. Cities usually require their residents to carry this spray and many people choose to do so as a precaution. It is important to note that pepper spray as well as other irritant sprays (static electricity, ammonia, ammonia, water mixes, etc.) are not weapons that are regulated under any legislation. Individuals can use them for self-defense, just like any other legally obtained weapon. However, it is important not to use this spray too recklessly or without the proper training. Originally invented by a Texan named Anthony Pirrello for police use in the 1970s, he was later forced out of his company due to pressure from animal rights groups and others who felt that pepper spray was too cruel to animals. Qualities of Pepper Spray: A lot of people use pepper spray these days as a way to deter crime and rapists, but it's actually been around for a long time. This spray was created in the 1950s by accident when some chemists were trying to come up with a vaccine for cold-related illnesses. In the years since then, this spray has evolved into one of the most popular solutions for personal defense available and has been used by law enforcement officers. There are countless uses for this spray in both personal defense and law enforcement fields — from sprays that you can carry around on your belt loop to aerosol cans that can be carried in purses or pockets. Here are the qualities of pepper spray: 1. It's affordable, effective, and easy to use. 2. It can be carried around in a plastic bottle. 3. It can blind people, causing them to lose balance or fall. 4. Its range is small, just like a gun, so you have to get close before you're able to defend yourself and others with it. 5. Most sprays are made of non-toxic chemicals or mixtures of chemicals that aren't harmful to humans. Self-Defense Uses of Pepper Spray It's important to know how to protect yourself from a potential assailant. One option is pepper spray. This spray is an aerosol spray that irritates a person's eyes, nose, and throat. There are many different types of these sprays and some are legal in more countries than others. This spray has been used by police officers for decades as an effective weapon against assailants and rioters alike because it's not lethal, but it can definitely stop someone in their tracks for long enough for you to get away or assist anyone else who needs help. It is also a very viable self-defense alternative for women who are concerned about the illegal use of a handgun. It's easy to use and it's much less intimidating than a gun. It won't leave your hands shaky or make you feel like you're about to throw up (due to the adrenaline rush) like if you were holding a gun. In the United States, this spray is often used by police officers to help them subdue violent suspects during an arrest. The best way to use this spray is in short bursts, typically only 2 – 3 seconds long. This keeps the chemicals from dispersing as quickly and helps ensure that you get the maximum distance that your purchase did not buy with them. Other Uses of Pepper Spray: This spray has many uses other than personal defense, however. Law enforcement officers use it in direct eye contact incidents such as traffic stops for minor infractions and package inspections at border crossings. It's also used to stop aggressive dogs and even to deter bears. One of the biggest advantages of pepper spray is that it's affordable. You can usually buy a small bottle of this spray for $10 or less, and sometimes you'll find it on sale online for at least half of its regular price. One of the main reasons that this spray is so affordable is because the chemicals that make up this spray aren't as expensive as other chemicals — but they're just as effective when they're combined. Because you can carry this spray in places like a purse or pocket, you don't have to worry about carrying around a bulky container, which would only attract attention if you were using it in an emergency situation. ![]() A defensive weapon is an item used for defense, protection, or personal use that is intended to cause or inflict damage. This can include personal weapons such as pepper spray disguised as a key chain, a multitool in your pocket, and throwing knives. However, it's legal to carry some types of these items in public although they must be concealed along with carrying permits issued by local law enforcement agencies. A person who carries any type of weapon into public places with the belief it will be used defensively against another person who has intentionally initiated force or violence onto them could be charged with the crime of carrying a concealed firearm and subject to criminal prosecution and civil liability proceedings. Massachusetts law states that regardless of the weapon category or intention, if a person carries any type of concealed weapon including non-lethal items such as knives and blades with the intent to use it to harm another person, then they'll face criminal charges for the crime of carrying a concealed weapon. It's legal to carry any item in public if the person has a proper permit issued by local law enforcement agencies who could confirm their identity (i.e., complete driver's license, photo identification card, and fingerprints). However, some states may only allow people over 21 years old to carry these types of items if they have proper permits which require background checks and licenses. Benefits of Self-Defense Weapons: Self-defense weapons are a great option for those who want to feel safer when they go out. They come in many forms such as pepper spray, stun guns, Tasers, and even some more unorthodox options. This article will explore the benefits of carrying one of these devices on you when you go out in the world. In exploring these five benefits of defensive weapons it is clear that owning one carries with it an impressive set of advantages that may vary depending on the type of weapon being carried and its intended use. Here are these benefits: 1. Scares off Attackers Because they are an effective deterrent and often make an attacker change their mind, self-defense weapons are a great way to scare off someone who is trying to attack you. Note that you may not always be able to stop an attack, but you can deter it by showing that you have the ability to defend yourself. 2. Alarms Others Even if you do not actually use your self-defensive weapon, just having it with you in some areas can alarm bystanders into thinking that something is wrong and spur them into helping you out. This can be a great way for others to help defend your safety as well as their own. 3. Prevents Attackers from Escaping These defensive weapons can also be used to prevent an attacker from escaping by pinning them down or immobilizing them. This can be useful if you feel that a situation is getting out of hand or if you are in a place where it might take a while for help to arrive on the scene. 4. Contests with Assailants These weapons are great self-defense tools, but sometimes they can be used as great tools to ensure that an attacker is made to submit before they can even begin to make you do something. It is important that everyone has enough self-confidence and training in how to use their weapon in order to make good decisions. 5. Defends Against Thieves Some defensive weapons are designed to be used against attackers, and because of this, they may be able to keep the thief away from your personal belongings such as weapons or cash while they rob you. The many great benefits of carrying a self-defensive weapon when out in the world could not be better summed up than by this quote from the security expert, Jeff Degnan. He says that "A well-designed self-defense tool is a great equalizer for those who choose to carry it. Best Options for Women’s Self-Defense! "Women must protect themselves. If you're attacked by a burglar or attacked by someone you don't know in a bar, something has to be done." Women don't want to be victims so they need a way to protect themselves, yet modern society is taking away all traditional personal defense weapons such as firearms, knives, and even martial arts training with more and more restrictions on them. Those who practice hand-to-hand combat may not have another option but self-defense training. How to protect yourself from the dangers of modern society? Old-fashioned personal defense weapons such as firearms and knives can provide the necessary protection against threats to a degree, but they come with their own set of limitations. In today's world, a woman needs more than just a crossbow or dagger to protect herself in all kinds of difficult situations: attack dogs, construction zones, crowded public arenas, aggressive panhandlers, and/or thieves are just some examples. Yet, as a woman, you can also feel vulnerable at times when simply walking down the street alone. In today's society, women have to be wary of their surroundings and often feel vulnerable due to violence against women. Women use self-defense weapons to protect themselves in all types of situations or just want to get home safely after a date. ![]() Brass knuckles are a tool that is made from two metal plates connected by chains, designed to make punching harder. They're typically worn on the fingers of one or both hands, with a section of chain relating them. The type of knuckles that are most associated with violent crime is the "knuckles duster" which consists of two single-piece steel rings attached by a chain and fastened around the user's forefingers. Some knuckle duster users wear gloves or other types such as spiked gloves for protection in combat sports like mixed martial arts or professional boxing. In those sports, these types come in hand-wrapped leather and fiberglass pieces to protect the hands. What Do Knuckles Look Like? So you want to know what brass knuckles look like? Don't worry, we have you covered. These knuckles are a type of weapon that typically has a handle with finger holes and often includes one or more attached "knobs" for striking an opponent. The idea behind it is to increase the punch's force, similar to how weighted gloves can increase punching power in martial arts disciplines such as boxing or karate. They're often called "knuckle dusters". The name originates when hand-held weapons like knives and brass knuckles were illegal in many Western countries but wrist-worn self-defense weapons such as batons were not. A variation on the knuckles design can be found in "knuckledusters". The main difference is that knuckledusters are designed to fit over a finger without requiring the use of a hand for punching. They tend to be more like a small metal club or baton you can punch with than simple knuckles made of metal. While knuckles are strictly used for punching while you're holding on to them, knuckledusters are meant to be used while being held in your free hand. They can also be used as a weapon that's concealed in a fist when not in use but they're less effective than brass knuckles because they don't fit over your entire hand. Brass Knuckles can Cause Damages: Brass Knuckles can hurt you in these ways: 1. They make your hand feel bruised, which can lead to blisters and re-injury. 2. They can cause nerve damage if they are too forceful or used for a long time. 3. They make you susceptible to infection because of the brass material on the outside and the metal on the inside of the knuckles. 4. If you hit someone with it, it could break your hand or injure their arm, joint, or tendon: 5. When using knuckles in a fight you can get a cut on your face that may need stitches or hospitalization for minor facial fractures such as cheekbones and jaw bones (broken nose). Post Injuries: 1. Swelling: When you hit someone their body reacts by swelling up, so when you hit them again in the same spot it will more likely be reinforced by the swelling, causing major damage even if it doesn't feel like much. 2. Bruising: Even if there is no muscle damage and no broken bones, your body can still bruise (there can also be multiple areas of bruising). If you get a bruise in the wrong spot, it can lead to deformity or permanent damage. 3. Infection: Brass knuckles are made of brass and metal, both of which contain microscopic microorganisms that can lead to infection if they enter your body. This also applies to skin that has been exposed to brass knuckles. 4. Broken bones: If you have ever been in a physical altercation, there is a good chance that at some point during the fight, you were using your fists to punch your opponent. The average person cannot break their knuckles with their bare hands because of the thickness of the epidermis and dermis layers. However, these knuckles have enough force to break bones if they are used correctly, but it will take longer than just punching someone with bare hands. Safe Use of Knuckles! Are you prepared to defend yourself the only way you can? Okay, so brass knuckles might not be your first choice of weapons, but if someone tries to mug you at night and you don't have a fancy gun or knife where is your option going to come from? Not like it's hard to find a reason for using knuckles in the first place, they were originally used by sailors in England before the invention of firearms. Fighting with these hand-sized weapons can definitely help increase security and possibly even save your life. To use them effectively however there are certain precautions that should be taken. |
