French/European Knuckle Dusters American Power USA

American Power USA

I was really looking forward to getting these and was a little dissapointed when they arrived I like the shape of it but thats about it. Its quite thin, the finger holes could do to be slightly bigger and the finish could be a lot, lot better. It says American Power USA on it on both sides and they have tried to make it embossed and its not really worked or not on the one I have it looks really untidy. I appreciate how hard it would be to cast brass and have letters embossed off of it like it suppose to be but if its not going to be done right then they probably would been best to not do it at all or engrave it on afterwards.

French/European Knuckle Dusters Boxer Patent

Boxer

I really like these, these have been around for a long time from what I can make out. obviously these are still being cast today but I have seen some really old versions of this. These are available in Brass or Aluminium and have some nice markings on them they say Boxer on one side and patent on the other. They also have a spike on the end of the two middle knuckle holes and on the side of the two outer finger holes. They are comfortable to hold too and the brass ones have a nice weight to them I don't have the aluminium ones yet but will get them in time

These are now available from the US in the cheap crappy looking belt buckle type with removable pin made of stainless steel and either gold or chrome plated and they don't have boxer or patent wrote on them. My advise would be if possible to buy a real brass or aluminium one.

French/European Knuckle Dusters Baron

Baron

This one is a similar design to a classic knuckle duster design with a hole in the palm area as well as four finger holes. The finger holes are slightly larger at the top to what they are at the bottom. It also has four points on top. Its made of brass and is quite thin. It has Baron wrote on either side of the palm handle. It has been sanded smooth on the outside to get rid of any casting lines and been polished. I like the shape of it and it feels resonable comfortable, then again depends on how you want to hold it.

French/European Knuckle Dusters Punch USA

Punch USA

I like this one too it well cast in brass it as square tops like the American knuckles and with little spikes on each one with and additional spike on each end. Its got nice oval holes which are a good size and not too far spread apart. The palm area is a bit big though still I like this though and it feels ok. It says Punch on one side and USA on the other although I don't believe its USA made.

French/European Knuckle Dusters Ni Dieu Ni Maitre

Ni Dieu Ni Maitre

I quite like this one because its something differnet to the usual style knuckles its just got one big hole instead of four finger holes giving the hand more room, having said that its too big for my hand so it sort of flops about. Its got nine spikes along the top which would cause more damage if you were to hit someone with it. Finished to a good standard and well cast in my opinion, made of Brass.

It also says on it Ni Dieu Ni Maitre which I believe means Niether God Nor Master, but don't quote me on that.
