Number Three " Knuckles " - Dusters - Station IX

Historians believe that “Knuckles” or “Dusters” originated from ancient Greece and Rome, where they were first used by Gladiators. These often crude but devastating weapons, have been carried by soldiers during the American civil war, by Parisian gangs “Les Apaches” in the late 1800’s and were widely carried and used by soldiers of both world wars.

Our Dusters are a modern version of a historic model manufactured and carried by the soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the First World War.

It is to be noted that our Dusters do not have a palm swell like other designs. This particularity allowed soldiers to wear the knuckles and still perform tasks such as manipulating and reloading firearms for example.

Also, we chose to CNC our Dusters from a solid block of Aluminum, making them compact and lightweight, while still being brutally devastating.
