Flat Top Knuckle Duster





Flat Top Knuckle Duster - A traditional style knuckle duster with flat top striking surfaces.
The design was copied from a widely available commercial knuckle duster that can be bought all over the world.
It is quite a basic design, made to fit small to medium size hands, with four flat striking surfaces over each finger hole, each finger hole is oval and the palm rest is curved for better comfort.

The size of hands/fingers this Knuckle Duster is made for is medium hands, and would not fit large hands. Features oval finger holes and a curved palm rest.

Weight is average due it to its thickness and being made of aluminium.
Features no makers marks but was made by the same person who makes most of my other knuckle dusters.

Overall a good simple design that works well and looks reasonably good although could be finished better, which isn't as big thing, just a case of more sanding.

Dimensions - 110mm wide, 80mm high, 10mm thick, Finger holes are 24mm wide and 30mm high approx.

Two Identical Deaths Head Type Knuckle Dusters

                                    






Two Identical Deaths Head Type Knuckle Dusters -  Two old knuckle dusters featuring the classic "Deaths Head" style finger holes.
Both models are virtually the same, however one is solid 6mm aluminum and the other is 3 sections of 3mm aluminium that is glued and bolted together.
These double finger style finger hole knuckle dusters can be very comfortable, a lot more so than a standard four finger hole version, this is because the 2 finger posts are missing and these are usually what make some ill fitting knuckle duster uncomfortable and not safe to use.
An unusual design, features double Deaths head style finger holes and a curved palm rest and four spikes each.
The size is suited to Small to Medium hands/fingers, but could fit larger size hands/fingers.

Weight is low due to them being made of aluminium,

Neither feature any makers marks but were made by the person who makes most of my other knuckle dusters - these where made at around 2000 - 2005 as far as I can remember

Overall a good unusual  knuckle duster, Light and comfortable, Look great and are safe to use.

Dimensions - 115mm wide, 80mm high, 6mm thick and 9mm thick, Finger holes are 55mm x 26mm approx, spikes are about 8mm.

Bottle Opener Knuckle Duster







Bottle Opener Knuckle Duster - A two finger bottle opener knuckle Duster designed by myself about 6 years ago.
Made from Aluminium, features only one large double finger hole that supports two fingers, it also has 3 bottle openers and a lanyard hole, Made to be held using either the index and middle finger or middle and ring finger in the hole.
Although they look cool and will open bottles one problem with this type of model is that they have to fit the wearers hands/fingers perfectly or they are very uncomfortable.
The size is suited to medium hands/fingers only and would not fit any other size fingers.
Features a double size finger hole and a curved  palm rest, weight is low due the size and it being aluminium.

Features No makers marks, but does feature the word BUD (Budweiser)

Overall a good multi purpose knuckle duster if it fits well, looks pretty cool, is very easy to carry and conceal and would work great for self defense (if the right size).

Dimensions - 80mm high, 60mm wide, 6mm thick, Finger hole is 56mm wide and 30mm high approx.

WeaponCollector's Home Made Wrist Crossbow













WeaponCollector's Wrist Crossbow - A full working wrist crossbow, also known as a Arm or Forearm Mounted Crossbow, Wrist Bow or Armbow.
Similar to the one used in Mad Max 2 : The Road Warrior, Used by the character Wez.
This is a fully working model, single shot only, shoots standard 6" pistols bolts and the draw weight is 50lbs
This is the Mark 1 Wrist Crossbow, this version features no cocking mechanism and therefore has to be removed to be cocked, I have tried cocking it with my left hand using two fingers and its just too hard.

Mark 2 version (coming soon) will have a cocking mechanism for the left hand meaning the crossbow won't need to be taken off to be cocked.
Version 1 would have had the cocking mechanism, but because the mechanism wasn't on the original designs I drew up I couldn't fit it on to the crossbow.
It has a reasonably light trigger pull and can be fire by either tilting your hand down while holding the handle at the front or by using the back trigger, (the back trigger was designed as a aid to shooting if the trigger pull was very hard, however it is not, so its not really needed).
Accuracy is low due to the fact you can't really aim it, you just point and shoot, you may be able to become proficient at shooting it after a lot of practice though.
Features include double straps to hold it to your arm, aluminium arm guard, double trigger, 50lb prod which is easily removed.
It took about 14hrs to make that was spread across two working days, it is mainly made from wood and aluminium and some screws and was made using very basic tool with the only power tool being a drill.

Dimensions : Length of arm guard - 10.5" ,  Full length - 13" ,  Arm guard width - 4.5" , Prod width - 17" , Height - 5.5" , Draw Length is 5".
 
Wrist Crossbow tags - wrist bow wrist cross bow arm crossbow mounted forearm weapon.

Handmade Two Finger Knuckle Duster / Brass Knuckles







Two Finger Knuckle Duster - A Two finger knuckle duster made to look like a cut down four finger version, however this model was never actually a four finger knuckle duster.

Made to be held so that the middle and ring fingers are in the finger holes, and the two other fingers are supported by the outer grooves.
These cut down type knuckle dusters are just as effect as a four finger version, but are smaller and easier to conceal and carry.
The basic design is that of a traditional style knuckle duster with (what I call) Jagged edge striking surfaces.
The size is suited to Small to Medium hands/fingers, and are not really suited large size hands / fingers.
Features Oval style finger holes and a curved palm rest and two triangular style spikes / striking surfaces,
Weight is low due to them being made of aluminium,
They do not feature any makers marks.

Overall a good knuckle duster, easy to carry and conceal and could potentially be great for self defense in an emergency.

Dimensions - 90mm wide, 80mm high, 10mm thick, Finger holes are 22mm wide and 28mm high approx.

Home Made Acrylic Tanto Trench Knife






Black Plastic Acrylic Tanto Trench Knife - An acrylic plastic trench knife or knuckle duster knife, although made of plastic it is still strong, and able to do plenty of damage to a would-be mugger or attacker.
It has a 5" blade which is capable of stabbing but not slashing / cutting, this trench knife is similar to the types of shanks found in prisons and would do the same kind of damage.
This one also features a skull crusher spike that is meant to be used in a hammer type blow.

The size is medium to large hands, and would probably fit small hands too.
Features round finger holes and a flat palm rest, jagged edge style striking surfaces, a skull crusher and 5" blade.
Weight is low due to size and it being made of Plastic.

Features no makers mark but was made by the person who makes most of my brass knuckles.
Overall an average plastic trench knife, looks o.k and is a one off in trench knife designs, not my favourite either, although still makes a good collectors piece, good for display and as a talking point.

Dimensions - 120mm wide (handle only), 80mm high (handle only), 8mm thick, Finger holes are 26mm wide and 32mm high.
Blade is 128mm - (5" inches) Overall length is 258mm - (just over 10" inches) Approx.

Hand Made Females Knuckle Duster - Brass Knuckles









Females Knuckle Duster- very small size ladies knuckle duster, Made specifically for very small hands, and most suited to women, but could be used by men with slim fingers, I do know some male teenagers who can wear these size knuckle dusters and as you can see from the second to last picture I can just about get them on my fingers, but won't not be able to use them safely


The size of the knuckle duster is Small, but will just about fit medium size hands. There are various pictures in this post that show the size of the knuckle duster when held by a medium size hand and one that shows the small size knuckle dusters compared with a medium size knuckle duster,

Features Oval finger holes and a curved palm rest, Weight is obviously low due to its size, they could also be concealed reasonably easily due to it's size, that's if you were to risk carrying such an item.

Also features a jagged edge striking surface which I feel are a good edition to these small knuckle dusters because it gives a female (or whoever a wears them) a advantage against a potential foe/attacker.

These feature no makers mark but do have a date - 2010.
Dimensions - 90mm wide, 75mm high, 15mm thick, Finger holes are approx - 17mm wide and 22mm high.
