Death's head knuckle duster











Death head knuckle duster, few weeks old. Made from solid aluminium plate, features 5 spikes, which are represented as top of it's head. Only two holes are for fingers and it's slightly less comfortable than regular four fingered knuckle duster with four oval fingerholes.

Death's head knuckle duster has pretty nice curved palmrest, it fits into palm well.

It's 104 milimeters wide (4 inches), 65 milimeters in hight (2.5 inches) and 6 milimeters thick(1/4 inch). Fingerholes are 45 milimeters wide(1 1/8 inch) and 27 milimeters high(1 inch).

Aluminium knuckle duster with brass spikes











This is a knuckle duster I've had done about a month ago..I really like the simple designs and I think this one is pretty simple.

At bottom of knuckle duster, on it's palmrest, there is glued small tape of rough sandpaper for much much better grip.

Knuckle duster is well polished.

Knuckle duster is 102 milimeters wide (4 inches), 63 milimeters in hight (2.5 inches) and 12 milimeters thick(1/2 inch). Fingerholes are oval, 22 milimeters wide(1/8 inch) and 27 milimeters high(1 inch).

Spikes are made from brass stick, 5 milimeters thick (1/5 inch) and thumbed-not very sharp.

Hitler Jugend Fahrtenmesser / Standard Hitler's Youth knife















This is my Hitler's youth fighting knife I've recently purchased.. I'm not very satisfied with this replica, because you can see from far, that was made in China... Wasn't sharp, it's not total symetric quality of blade isn't so great either...

Blade is on one side only, it's 140 milimeters long (5,5 inches) and app. 25 milimeters wide (1 inch). Blade is made from stainless steel, handle from black plastic, the tongue and "Eagle head" both are made from stainless steel too, and the Hakenkreuz(swastika) emblem is made from unknown steel and painted with red, white and black colors. Pins are steel too. Blade has engraved "Blut und Ehre!" as seen on picture above. In English translations means Blood and Honour. Yep, Germans during World War II. were really proud on their blood, nation and country.

Knife sheet is made from iron, painted black and have leather belts for keeping the knife in from falling out. Also has a gap for belt.
