My brother broke a finger pounding on a thief, so I bought him a pair to keep in his shop. The wide-top knuckles are an excellent product for an excellent price:

Aloha!

Whoa, those are cool lookin I just might have to get me a pair..
The ones I have now are the tradional type...Used as a paper weight of course

I've never been able to finda a set of knucks that fit, I've got really big hands. Roll o' coins works almost as well.

That site reminded me that I've been wanting to get a blackjack, think I might pick one up. Anyone ever used one?

Blackjack/Sap they work very nice. Depending on your use, there are some very nice gloves available.

Just want something to go in the pocket, that I can use while wearing gloves, since these days I mostly go about in suit, long topcoat and gloves. So, the blackjack is probably a better option, since it would be a pain to take off the nice gloves and put on the working gloves.

Thanks,

R

Rufus,
Just out of curiousity, WTF you need a blackjack for?

Oh just for fun. Not like I ever get messed with or anything.

Heh.
What do you do for a living that you'd be well dressed and yet want to risk bloodying your wardrobe?

not a risk if it's necessary. I don't go around looking for trouble or anything like that.

Try http://www.shomer-tec.com. They have two weights depending on the need. They'll last a lifetime. They also have a nifty sap cap. Look under impact weapons

...
ok, I might have to order that sap cap. That's just too cool not to own.

The use of brass knuckles as opposed to a firearm or knife can only be described as humanitarian.

Yep, agree with you on that one.

There is a bottle opener/fist load on South Narc's page. Very legal/lethal.

If you are interested, it is shivworks.com

That thing is cool as shit! I gotta have one!

Got me a 14oz blackjack from ShomerTech the other day. Well-made, sturdy motherfucker. Gonna order an 8oz for my gf, she really liked it. Haven't had a chance to use it, probably wouldn't post it if I did. Price was about $15 and they shipped it priority mail, so it only took a coupla days.

Browse the catalog, get the fake teeth and other appearance changing gear, take the sap on test drive and let us know.

Good idea, seq. I'll report back in my training log!

Perfectly legal weapon:
I suspect many of you know this one.

Get a newspaper or magazine. Roll it up real tight. Try a sidehand blow to a cement wall (it'll go right through the drywall in your house.) This will give you an idea of the lead pipe quality of a blow from the gadget.

Should you be forced to use the thing, drop it after the damage is done. It's just a newspaper again.

Ralph,

I couldn't locate the blackjack from shomertech that you mentioned in your post above.

Thanks,

Jim

go to police/military equipment, then impact weapons an there you go!

Still can't find it. ShomerTech leads one into a maze of different websites and I can't find the blackjacks.

Thanks,

Jim

http://www.shomer-tec.com/site/departme ... 8CB02B2900. This should take you right to it.

Damn, sorry I missed your post.

Re the blackjack, got my GF an 8oz one for Vday. Also picked up a key chain fist load that has a big pointy plug that points out from the knuckles, looks like fun. Would probably add some good heat to a beng to the solar plexus.

SeeAHill, I've tried the magazine thing, it fucking rocks. Read about it in some kung fu mag and a friend of mine pissed me off so I rolled that bitch up and roughed him up good. Did you see Bourne Supremacy? He does that in one of the scenes.

Ralph,
No, didn't see it in Bourne. A friend of mine, whose father was sort of an "enforcer" in one of the Chicago Unions, showed it to me years ago.
