The CIA things? They are illegal in California, as is any sort fo weapon which will go through a metal detector. I don't know about other states, or federal law.

Thankfully I don't live in California. :p Though an online search doesn't seem to be revealing any made of metal, which is unfortunate. However I've been reading a lot lately about knifemaking, so maybe I'll have to go from there.

You can glue a few cd's together and drill holes for your fingers and then cut to shape. Works just as well if not better because you can cut spikes into the front or some shit like that.

What about steel shot gloves?

I've got a pair. Never used them on anyone. They slow you down quite a bit. From what I've heard they are effective.

The CIA ice scraper thing, on the other hand, doesn't slow you down hardly at all, and seems to be sturdy for what it is. I've never felt the need to use that one either, as I think it could very easily be lethal. My tests(punching random objects with it) show that it would easily cause bad lacerations and fracture bones with a solid hit.

Cheers, are those legal in ausland?

It's legal if you ship it as a freezer cleaner/ice scraper. Not as a weapon. It doesn't appear to look offensive. But you would probably tell everyone and they would go the way of the green laser light. You can buy switchblades in Australia if you know where to look, as well as double edged blades. I mean, if you can get a rocket launcher and a full auto Uzi in this country, you can definately get anything else.

Arms, would you ship one this way marked as such if I asked nicely and paid you properly for it?

It looks like you could cut the tip off some bastards nose with that thing.

I have a pair. Pretty hardcore, full brass. I would be scared to use them in a fight as to killing someone.

Get a giant stick or a Monadock or ASP collapsable baton.

A decent knife would be second. Maybe a hideaway knife?

Maybe a hideaway knife?

For stabbing people? No. Try a more tried and true design.

AM, any chance you got a website? I've been meaning to get myself a paperweight what with all these papers I've been writing.

Cheers

Just get a shitty aluminum carabiner for a key chain wrap tape around the fatter end. black on black works well because you can still use it as a key clip. Put the fat end in your hand so the slope of the hump lines up with your thumb. place the skinnier end over your middle finger. I punch normally with it, big time headache for whoever gets hit.

there was a thread about this in DIY a while back.

just some steel, bend them to shape, then weld. really, making knuckledusters arent particularly difficult to figure out.
