What are The Possible Damages to Brass Knuckles?

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.
