Is that a singular "brass knuckle?" It looks like its made of carbon!
Right on both counts! I'm pretty sure there's a guy on USN that makes them, in all sorts of metals and carbon fiber, but they're hard to come by.

Probably a failure of imagination on my part, but struggling to figure how a carbon fiber ring really helps you. Knuckles fucking hurt if you know how to use them, and striking with the knuckle instead of the finger makes more sense to me.
Good call on the Kimber Doug.

It doesn't seem deep enough. I get the benefit of gripping something in your fist, even a roll of coins, and why a traditional knuckle duster works, but it has a way deeper grip than this little ring shrug. Still wonder if going off axis from the perfect line from your forearm bones to your knuckles is worth it as well.
-
trying to figure the knuckle duster out as well….my guess is that little guy maybe....wait, no...nevermind. Thought i had the depth thing figured out but pretty sure if you did it the way im thinking it would break your finger. It does seem to have a very shallow base to it. Not sure how it provides the support the way a more traditional one would. I also agree that going off axis to try to use that may end up in a pretty serious amount of hurt either to the wrist or to the carpal.

Generating quite a covo about the SFK, I see. It's a SFK (single finger knuck) by A. Frankart. Yes, it's carbon fiber. Yes, he's on the USN. Yes, these are hard to come by. Recently saw one just like mine sell fo 475 on ebay. Yes, it would probably hurt if you hit someone with it. Knucks & knuckles are not new in the since people have been making similar defensive tools for almost as long as the tools to make them have existed. Personally, I thought there would be more questions about the anod Ti toothpick? Either way, it's stured up some good convo… cheers

Oh crap!!! Didnt see the toothpick, that's awesome. As a regular toothpick junkie I'm highly interested in the info on that. Dig the kimber too mate
