I'm thinking about celebrating the Texas legalization of brass knuckles by picking up a few. What is a good source?

"Where to buy?" I'd try a surplus store in the glass counter case by the register.

There was a thread a few months back where a member posted a link to some very nice knuckles. I think they were about 60-80 bucks, but again, they were very nice! I hope he chimes in because I lost the link.

I can't help with the knuckles, but the 2 places I know that sell sale are Foster and D3. Foster is in NC. D3 is in Red Deer, which the last time I looked was in Canada. D3's prices are a little lower than Foster, but shipping is a little higher. D3 will build it the way you want it. I've been carrying a D3 flat sap for about 10 years now. He makes good stuff View Quote Off to take a look. |

How does brass knuckles become something that needs legalization?

You should be able to get Chinese knock off at the Pakistani ice house within a week. They will be next to the bongs, pipes, and Zig Zags.

|
If you are looking for custom, hand made pieces try Terry Shanks or Billy Trident on Instagram. Pricy and often a long wait, but outstanding quality.

Years ago I bought these knuckle dusters in two separate WW-2 equipment groupings. While never issued they were a popular item for the young GIs to buy.

I definitely haven't bought a couple from plowshare forge. $40 each, $100 for 3, solid cast brass. Not much polish to them but they damn sure aren't toys and all are historically styled

How about plastic knuckles? Seems like they'd be more practical if they were strong enough.

Quoted: "Unconditional lifetime warranty"? That's reassuring just in case they would ever break, need replacement parts, get worn out, need maintenance, etc. View Quote pdt2308, those are nice looking BN's for $29. I might have to get a pair of those now that we can play "West Side Story". On another note, anyone give any thought about how their use might be classified when they're used to smack a dirtbag upside the head? If you kill a guy while using these, is there going to be a big brouhaha over deadly force and such? I mean, it really wouldn't be much different than hitting a deserving offender with a tire iron, but I could see some lefty snowflakes and politicians getting their jimmies ruffled. Say...when was Antifa coming to Texas for their big rally? |

I'm just curious...
Why are they BRASS knuckles? Wouldn't pretty much any metal work? Steel, iron, etc. |

Quoted: I've transported a guy that was hit with at least one of them. It's been a long time now and I don't remember how many times he was hit but it was only once or twice; I know he had some broken teeth and I want to say his jaw was broken. Knuckles are something you absolutely do not want to get hit with and if you employee them you need to understand that there is a very real chance you could kill the person you're hitting. I could see them caving in thinner bone like the temporal area for example or destroying an eye socket. View Quote |

Wow. I wouldn't have thought they'd be that destructive. View Quote Even body shots are wicked, broken ribs, huge bruises, etc. |

I didn't look but I bet Ebay is full of them.
edit if you want white vinyls stickers or vape pens |

"buy"- oops. Sorry! View Quote By the way, have you tried this thing called "Google" yet? It's this new search engine that just came out and is all the rage with the kids! Personally, I picked up a set from BudK and they get the job done. They collect dust on my desk as good as my police knucks and they do a helluva job holding down papers when my fan is on. |
