A Brass Knuckle
Knife is a knife with a metal knuckle duster attached to the blade to make
gripping it easier, as well as to provide added protection from harm. The knife
blade can be any shape or size that suits the needs of the user, but a hooked
blade is often preferred because it makes cutting things easier without
obstruction.
A lot of times
you'll find these knives have serrated blades for increased functionality and
utility, but they're not required by any means. A knife with a serrated edge
will actually make it more difficult to use the brass knuckle portion of the
blade, but it can be done.
Why Do People Make Brass Knuckle Knives?
They are made to
make stabbing quicker, easier, and more effective. Due to the extra metal on
the blade, it's much easier to drive through skin and bone with minimal effort.
How Are They Made?
The first step is
acquiring all of your materials. You'll want to get two tools for this project,
a hacksaw and a bolt cutter. A hacksaw is used to cut the material you need for
your brass
knuckle knife. A bolt cutter is necessary so you can cut the metal off of
the bolt handle. These can be found at just about any hardware store, or they
can be made yourself by cutting off of an old drill bit for screwdriver bit
that's been ground down.
With all of your
materials, it's time to begin work on your knife prototype. It would be best to
do some tests beforehand so that you know exactly what it's going to look like
before you actually start sawing. I found it best to make a test model without
the brass knuckle portion of the blade. This way it will be easier to see where
your blade is going to be for better accuracy.
After you get
everything finished, you need to sand down all of the rough edges. Be sure not
to sand down the entire length of your handle; it will make things much too
difficult if you do that. Once that is done, it's time to move on to grinding
out the brass knuckle portion of your knife. Use some fine sandpaper and grind
away until you're left with a nice abrasion pattern on both sides of your
knife.
Advantages/Disadvantages
When it comes to
hand-to-hand combat, what you hold in your hands can make a huge difference.
Your weapon gives you an advantage and can give you the upper hand when
fighting opponents! And for this reason, many people find that brass
knuckle knives are especially useful.
Advantages
There are many
advantages brass knuckle knives have over other non-lethal weapons. The most
obvious advantage is the fact that they are still capable of delivering a
lethal blow to an opponent if necessary.
Unlike Tasers or
pepper spray, these knives are not limited to pain compliance. They will be
able to get the job done if needed, but they can do so without leaving marks on
your hands or face. Originally used in self defense, these knives see frequent
use by law enforcement officials and military personnel alike due to their
ability to be concealed easily without detection.
Disadvantages
Brass knuckle
knives, and other similar weapons are designed to inflict pain when they do not
have to be used as a cutting tool. One of the biggest disadvantages of using
such a weapon is that it can also cause serious damage to vital organs such as
the eyes and brain.
Not only could
these weapons cause permanent blindness or permanent disability, but they may
even kill an opponent even before death. If you are thinking about purchasing
one of these types of knives, make sure your intentions are solely for self
defense purposes only.
Conclusion
Some people are
lucky enough to use or carry a tactical knife just for comfort or decoration.
However many people that own or carry a tactical knife would agree that
carrying one is an added advantage that they'll never go without.
Some just like the
feel of it in their hand others like the versatility of the tool provided by
the knife. The brass knuckle knife provides protection and an extra edge in
self defense situations where physical protection is required.
