An acquaintance of mine was a cop some years back and is still righteously indignant that they were forced to stop carrying them. Evidently she got very good results with hers prior to the edict.
BTW, guys, don't be fooled into thinking that the bookmarks are legal to carry. Some guy got caught in the airport awhile back trying to take his "bookmark" through security. They were unamused and tried to prosecute, IIRC. What's sad is that he may not have really known that his "bookmark" was a rebadged sap. My dad bought one completely innocently for a bookmark/pageholder. I got a big kick out of it--don't know if he figured it out even then.

Knuckles are generally just as illegal as saps and other such things.

And you should try to pull a gun with the knucks on your fist. Very embarassing when the person you're threatening draws first...........

Loandr,
I've just got to say, those are fine looking toys you have there
As for brass knuc's, my experiences with them have shown me that unless the rest of your set skills allow you to throw a precise and accurate punch in the first place, your gonna break something (of your own!!)
I've seen good fighter stop a fight with one punch using BK's and I've seen fighters that 'think' they are good get their arses handed to them.
Just my 2p worth.

I'd love to carry a sap, seems like possibly the most versatile defensive tool out there. Shame that one can go to prison for such a thing around here. I guess I'm just going to have to stick with carrying as many big-bore handguns as I feel like insted.
Who makes this crap up anyways? Doesnt a sap qualify as an "arm" (as in RKBA)?

Thank you sir....the Knuck's (RazorBack and Bottle Opener Models) are Jewelers Grade, Consec. #'ed , 3/4 inch Brass with cushioned gripping surface. AND They remain in the office as paper weights accordingly.
Thanks again.....
Thanks again.....
JohnKSA - I remember the case. The guy walked, largely because he actually was a teacher carrying a bunch of books. Context is everything. Before I'd thought of the possibilities I went through post-2001 airport security with one in my carry on book bag - along with eight or nine tomes - in the US and even across the Canadian border. If I'd had it in my back pocket there might have been trouble. Similarly, I've flown with a Bodhran (Irish frame drum) and the beater that you use to play it. Yes, it's roughly the same size and shape as a number of pocket sticks like the kubotan. Packed with the drum and a couple of flutes it wasn't a problem.

nice example of someone who thinks he is invincible with brass knucks

Good first post Jim Malone. I'd say welcome, but you've been around a while. Thanks for illustrating that tools don't make the fight.

jjohnson made a comment about leather gloves with weights/coins/bullets in the fingers in post #14. I did a little looking around for some longer (11 1/2") tan leather work gloves and found these. Leather gardening gloves.

I also found a little info about coins and their weights.
A roll of pennies is 50 per roll, 181 pennies per pound
A roll of nickels is 40 per roll, 90 nickels per pound
A roll of dimes is, 50 per roll, 200 dimes per pound
A couple or three rolls of nickels (the heaviest coin) in the 3 longest fingers of the gloves tucked in a pants pocket or belt would not be out of place in many situations. you could get a nice black pair for most/many other times.
Even if you just carry one glove who would notice?
