The KnuckSlap™: A New Take on Knucks

[@matthewadler1329]

I'm not gonna water it down; Mike is gold. His mind and work have empowered me, and I am so grateful. I do MBC drills daily, and hope to one day own all of his knife designs. I will be carrying one of these to pair with my defense blade.

[@jhonkallum1177]

Were do you but these thanks

[@scottlawrence8157]

I like the versatility of applications it provides.

[@TommySalami215]

This is a really clever design. Well done.

[@PeterPan-kz2si]

Not sure the legal parameters/ but this looks effective another advantage this may have over a palm sap is it’s ability to stay in place when slapping.

[@3IN1SDG]

Make this in a hard plastic to reduce weight and pass through metal detector and you have GOLD!

[@timbroderickjr]

Very nice Mike!

[@thedon2703]

Genius level ingenuity

[@entheogenocide]

Very cool. I've always thought 2 finger knuckles are way better. This is an excellent upgrade

[@frankiehernandez1854]

This is well thought out in true MBC style.

[@bevbiltgarage9791]

Even though it's a small development of the original design it's a far more effective EDC that you can use in so many different ways due to the excellent shape and size. How can I get hold of one, I'm in England I can see a decent open hand slap to the ear will be a serious deterrent to put an end to most situations escalating into a physical confrontation. And due to the size of it and striking quickly most people won't have a clue what just happened

[@davyjones5056]

i can see this flying off in a high adrenaline moment when you are trying to slap someone

[@jaymystery-i3k]

anything can go wrong in a high adrenaline moment, the more one trains though the better you'll weather the storm!

[@ElonsXiProtocolCadet]

Cool looking implement. But it still amazes me in the era of MMA to see slap happy arm strikes.

Were to buy them

[@shanemitchell477]

The base that goes into the palm needs to be rounded not an L shape. It will still have the same effect, but for punching would be more comfortable. Thanks and have a nice day.

[@austinpundit6321]

[@magnumopusjkd6657]

Price point is way to high. There is no way that you have anywhere near $125 invested in even 10 of these. Considering how flooded the market is with affordable self defense options including many in the same category as yours it would be ludicrous to pay this much and if you were worried about people have a good self defense tool and not just lining your pockets you would have made them affordable for more than those with hefty wallets. I understand turning a profit but that's not what I'm seeing. The mark up is far too high. It's different but not good enough to rob people. And if the material is your excuse for the price you should rethink your choice of material as there are many affordable workable metals available.

[@TonesOnTheTrack]

These are genius, I can perry and catch punches. They do spread your fingers, I always wondered why.

[@hWat-Ever]

Brass knuckles are worn over the middle segment of your fingers, not directly under your knuckles.

[@pauldayton5285]

Is this Knuckslap even legal? Wouldn't the cop's charge you with a felony same as getting caught with brass Knuckles?

[@MartyMoose1611]

In many states they aren’t illegal (unless you use them to commit a crime). Simple possession, or reasonable self defense isn’t illegal in most states.

[@yahmanml]

Interesting

[@russellcampbell3500]

I have one and the two middle fingers want to snap back every hit and it kills with pain. Slap wise it almost falls off my hand. This is really a bad product.

[@thewatcher611]

Just get a gun and some POM pepper spray.

[@elihollingsworth6852]

So, the first thing is, you punch with your first two (index and middle finger) knuckles.

So, you don't know. You should find out. My state don't care. Unless you're like killing somebody that don't need to die, then they might care.

[@raygun4468]

It is not only illegal to use them in an act of violence in the US that can not be clearly justified as "self-defense" it is a felony offense. I am from England so I can tell you that these are 100% illegal to carry on you. But I live in India where not only are they legal to carry but using them is a self-defense situation is considered justified. In England, you would get a custodial sentence. If you buy the generic one size fits all then they will spread your fingers ... but mine are custom made so I will stick with my set. Solid Silver custom made brass knuckles kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4imiH-orNl5qK8 Also, most strikes I would do will be back-fist strikes as I am not a fan of boxing punches with the exception of the uppercut when at close range. A back-fist to the join in the occipital plate and the suborbital plate of the cranium will kill if done properly!

[@WarConicX]

Eh in every state it’s different, in Texas where I am it’s perfectly legal to carry any melee weapon in public, for example you can carry a long sword and it’s perfectly fine, brass knuckles are fine to carry too, for self defense if you get hit first it’s perfectly fine to fight back with whatever you got just don’t kill em

[@russellcampbell3500]

Well said my friend finally someone sane. This is a maming tool, not legal in my country Canada also.

[@RAPEDBYBLACKS]

So what? This took is great and easy to hide i live in Toronto, everything I carry is small and easy to get rid of or drop down a sewer. Everything is illegal in Canada, but im not going to to rely on cops or courts to save me. This tool is something you can carry in your car or pocket; looks like a piece of equipment or brace not a weapon

[@ElfHostage]

Even though the only immediate downside is that unlike a normal pair of brass knuckles it’s not as effective with hammer-fist strikes. Innovative weapon though!

[@growmiezhomiez8760]

You don’t know how to hold the knucks properly…

I’m assuming this would be illegal to carry in California. Too bad 😢

[@leanhard1987]

It's basically illegal everywhere. Very few exceptions.

[@RS-ol8or]

@@leanhard1987 Is that the point? Did Janich say this is a universal, personal protective piece of gear to use on the streets? Or is it just a fun, updated tool?

[@RS-ol8or]

On the other hand, I will say this doesn't necessarily look like brass knuckles. Maybe store a couple of cigars in the holes? "Gee, ocifer, this is just my neat little storage device!...." :P

[@jameskenneweg7609]

R S Or maybe try and pass it off as a bottle opener

[@magnumopusjkd6657]

Most certainly would fall under the same category as any knuckle duster, so unfortunately yes it would be illegal in the state of California.

Another guy who has no idea how to actually wear a knuckle duster 😅

[@stefannashorn9856]

125$ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Stupid AF!

[@iceblood16]

But aren’t you wearing those wrong? Duster should be worn lower, not close to the top knuckles. Never worn knuckles but watching them in quiet a few videos far more effective when not worn closet to the top of the fist.

[@Bikewer]

I don’t doubt the effectiveness.... .But brass knuckles are, to my knowledge, universally illegal to carry, and I can’t see that any prosecutor would treat this device otherwise.

[@magnumopusjkd6657]

Only in certain states in the US are knuckle dusters illegal. In fact they are legal to carry in many states including my own though it is illegal to use them in an act of violence that can not be clearly justified as "self defense". I'm pretty sure their completely banned in the UK and most parts if not all of Europe though.

@@raygun4468 illegal in England but not in many places in the US and I have 20 years of military combatives and martial arts experience. In no way at anytime would I be using them to strike the head as it can collapse the skull and kill. So yes a strike to the head would be attempted murder regardless. A "back-fist" with dusters? I think not unless you want to turn your wrist out to an unsafe angle as the back fist striking surface is the back of the knuckles....the dusters don't cover that part of your hand so no but hammer fists are one of your best friends if you're using dusters, break small hand bones or crack forearms or aim for soft squishies all along the body but stay away from the head of you want to stay out of prison. I carry dusters on a daily and can attest to the effectiveness when used properly to damage limbs and joints to halt an aggressor. Why do you all live in this tiny box of "you gotta throw head shots" it is not the case and if you strike the head you'll have a hard time proving self defense to a court. Much easier to prove self defense if it is clear that attempted murder is not your M.O. also it's much easier to prove self defense when you know, understand and adhere to the force continuum and only use the amount of force necessary to either immobilize or incapacitate your assailant. I don't approve of unwarranted violence in any way so I will close with this. Situational awareness and a new pair of Nike are some of your best self defense tools.

@@shanek6582 Okay. So if badguy is in bad breath distance, and can get a hand on you, you personally are able to, under duress, draw, put gun on target, and accurately dispense of said target? And by dispense, I mean: not getting hurt by badguy yourself and putting him out of the fight. And let's also not forget, that in that stressful situation, you are able to "know your target and what lies behind it" and being mindful of potential innocents behind/around badguy.

@@shanek6582 I beg to differ. As a matter of fact in a close range engagement unless you're already chambered and ready to fire you are much better off to pull a knife or defend yourself with CQC. If the bad guy has a knife and is close you're already dead before you get to fire at him.
