Brass knuckles

Weapon used in hand-to-hand combat

Brass knuckles (also referred to as brass knucks, knuckledusters, iron fists and paperweights, among other names) are melee weapons used primarily in hand-to-hand combat. They are fitted and designed to be worn around the knuckles of the human hand. Despite their name, they are often made from steel, wood, aluminium, plastics or carbon fibers and not necessarily brass.
