Rope Bound Knuckle Duster

Four finger grip with cord wound through the openings and along the back. The wrap is what makes this one different: it fills the gaps between fingers and gives the palm something to press against.

The dimensions

The body is 10 cm long and 1 cm thick, with 2.3 cm openings. Zinc alloy underneath, so the weight sits forward in the hand rather than in the wrap.

Why the cord matters

Cord takes up the slack on the back bar, which stops the piece rotating when the grip closes. It also warms the metal against the palm in cold weather.

Three colours

Silver, black and bronze. The cord is matched to the finish, so the wrap does not stand out against the body. Silver keeps the metal edge showing through the weave; bronze blends it away almost completely.

More wrapped styles

Lacing and wrapped pieces are grouped in lacing knuckles. Plain four finger shapes sit in four finger knuckles.
