Brass Knuckles or knuckle dusters are weapons of jaw destruction and if you’re not careful you can just as easily break your fingers trying to throw a punch wearing these; more so if its a straight hard jab that you are trying. Brass knuckles are in news because E.A, the video game company, has shipped some to a number of its reviewers as a promotional stunt to launch its new game, The Godfather II.
In the good old days knuckle dusters helped settle many an argument quickly without either party having to rant themselves into breathlessness. But these handy devices aren’t popular in the US, they are illegal in many US states and in the whole of Canada. France takes a kinder view of these and you’re actually allowed to own knuckle dusters if you are 16 years old, albeit with the permission of your parents.
Street thugs have always had a special affinity for knuckle dusters as these can easily be hidden; use them as belt buckles, fancy comb, collapsible knuckle dusters, etc. Now with the advent of very hard synthetic materials, airport authorities are having a hard time trying to prevent the illegal spread of knuckle dusters. Sold online, these knuckle dusters are marketed as bullet proof, razor sharp, and invisible to metal detectors as well as security screeners because of their see-through design. Things can get bad if someone actually manages to wrap his fingers round one inside an airplane.
