Modern production knuckle-knives?
- Thread starter Anaxes
- Start date
modern combatives requires a less restrictive handle.
so whilst it may look pretty awesome, it gets in the way of practically everything from carry to actual usage.
it's out of vogue for most serious knife users, but for collectors perhaps.
I think the only military in the world that probably still issues a knuckle guard knife would be Argentinian.

The design can't be too poor given it served through two World wars, and Vietnam. I suppose the plus sides are limited to them, but their unlikely to be wrenched from your grip at least. Anyway, combat effectiveness isn't an issues as defence is generally considered illegal here.
The only two modern knuckle knife makers I know are EDMF(Eight Dollar Mountain Foundry) and Plowshear Forge(Dan Block). These two fellas produce many designs and are decently priced.
The rest I see now-a-days are custom one offs.
The Argentine military also issued a knuckle knife very recently, but these are hard to find.
