Last week I saw something I just had to obtain, problem is I dont know what it's called. It looked like brass knuckles with a blade at one end. WHAT IS IT?
There is the reproduction of the World War One knuckle knife, which was a slender dagger, with spiked brass knuckles built into the grip. Another was the earlier fr*nch "Apache" revolver, which was a revolver cylinder with no barrel, folding brass knuckle grip, and a spike fold out bayonet.
The knuckle knife will break your hand if you use it, and the "Apache",(fr*nch gangs were called apaches for some reason way back when, ie, 19th century.), is fragile and dangerous.
Also, many state and local laws forbid the use of brass knuckles as anything other than a paperweight, if at all.
Sap gloves, on the other hand, may be legal.....
Does it look like the trench knife in the picture or different?
You could have anything from a POS copy to a real deal WWI trench knife, but it depends upon you either posting a picture or giving a better detailed description.
There was a knuckleduster knife made for Brit commandos in North Africa during WW2 that might fit the bill. The blade part was straight like a tanto and didn't have a handguard (Crossguard?). The knuckles were solid brass and had the appearance of a human skull, when laid flat with the cutting edge towards you.
If this seems familiar, I'd get it if only for historical value. 'Course it might be a fake, but I can't imagine an original would be worth enough to bother faking.
