Wasn't sure about this thing when I pulled it out of the box. It was light and very "plasticky," it felt like a toy. So I took it to my basement, held it against the tile floor (which is laid over solid concrete) with the knuckles facing up, and whacked it a few times with a hammer. No cracks and no bending. The worst damage was a few small scratches and dents. I then used them to punch that same floor. Some scuffs on the corners, but no real damage. These are definitely the real deal.

The only fault I could find is with the design, which isn't specific to these knuckles or even only to the knuckles on this site. The design puts too much pressure on the pinky. So I recommend that if anyone were to need to use a knuckle duster, they remove their pinky from the hole and place it on top of the knuckle, in between the groove. This pushes the index and middle fingers forward, which focuses the punch on the strongest fingers and keeps the rest out of the way.

Love These Ordered On Sunday Received On Saturday Very Good Product And Very Well Made Will Order Again!

These are great. Light weight and strong. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is the finger holes are a bit small for my giant hands. I am going to have to modify two of the hole. I had to go to the courthouse the other day and forgot they were in my pocket, I remembered having them AFTER I made it through security. I felt my pocket and SMILED. Great product. Well worth the price.

... they look like toys when you first see them...THEY ARE NOT. After testing them out a wee bit I can say they are strong and durable and very lightweight. This was a test run for me before ordering some of the more pricy knuckles. This is the site I will use from now on.
