Well that's quite a sight, isn't it?
A bunch of Knuckle Dusters in Canada,
And these are indeed legal and I'll read to you how the law defines brass knuckles which are prohibited
The device known as brass knuckles and any similar device consisting of a band of metal,
with one or more finger holes designed to fit over the fingers of the hand.
So as you may have noticed, for one it's a little weird because that could be applied to
Finger rings in general. All kinds of metal finger rings. Of course, they are not prohibited
even though there may be some cases of rings where two fingers fit through
Or depending on how it's Interpreted and how anal the law enforcement officer decides to be or
The judge or whatever it ends up being
Could be a problem but
as you may have also noticed a
Band of metal so the material is specified in the definition and since these are *plastic*
No problem. But I wanted to double check and make extra sure so I went to the CBSA
Website. That's the "Canada Border Services Agency" and there I found
Specifically spelled out Exception (a)
Plastic Knuckles do Not Fall within the Definition of "brass knuckle" and (b)
D guard Knives don't either for Those who Didn't know There it is. Also Shows Once More the Absurdity of A ban because
The Exact Same item - different material - one is Prohibited, the other Is not. How much sense does That Make?
Obviously There's no Rampant Violence Involving These so
Why the metal Version Should be More of A problem I don't know
Oh, and also Worth pointing out These are legal to possess not Necessarily to carry
Although There's Always A Difference Between what is technically legal and what you can get away With in Practical everyday life
Because According to Canadian law
Theoretically you could carry around a sword or a
Huge-ass Knife on your belt as long as it's Openly Visible
Open Carry is Perfectly fine You're Just not allowed to conceal Anything
Of course an RCMP Officer might ask you "What the heck is up with that? Why are you carrying that?" and
Then You have to give Them a reason other Than self-Defense Because you're not
Allowed to Carry Anything With the intent of Protecting Yourself and I'll try not to get
Into A rant About that. It irritates me. Anyway Enough about that let's Look at the actual Plastic knuckles. So these are Made in Canada
By defiant Craft
and
They Are Made With an Acrylic Core
Sandwiched Between
Two layers of Hold stacks Which Is a thermoform Plastic
our two Versions This here is the Slim Version 8 millimeters Thick
and
This is the Thicker Version that IS 11 Millimeters Thick it's the Heavy Duty Version let's
Keep Looking at This one Here for now
It's got this Really, Nice Carbon fiber Look Which I'm Personally Quite Fond of, its very Nice
and There Are Different Sizes They have
Templates On the Website Which you Can Print out and cut out
In Cardboard and See how, well That Fits for you
This One Here is a medium
And
Let's See This one is a small
And
This Model it Looks Really Nice, its the fall out Carbon Edition
and Normally it has
Orange acrylic
Inside But I asked for a green
Which They did Send
Because This Just Seems more Appropriate for the whole
radioactive Theme; it Would be Really awesome if This was available in
Glow-In-The-Dark Green Now, We just Make it perfect but This looks quite Nice
And we've got
This One Here Carbon Fibre and Orange acrylic
I Definitely like the
The Heavy-Duty Version Because it Just Gives you more to hold in the Hand
Although They do have the
the Paracord Version For That Reason Because it just Gives you, A bit of Cushioning
And Gives you a larger surface to Press against the Palm of your hand so it's more Comfortable
So it's quite nice the
The other Black One Down There, also has the Slot and holds to attach any Kind of
Paracord You like Or
Any Kind of Cord Or leather
Strips Or Whatever the heck you, want Really I Can only Imagine that This one Here
Was meant to troll Cara because it, was in The Box labeled for Cara and
Cara Is not Exactly a Girly Person not at all so this Seems very
Ironic I Can Only Imagine that was intentional
The Hearts Here and Says Love on the other Side Which I do Appreciate the irony in that
This One is Really Cara Style with the whole
radioactive Style Going on and that the black and Green This red Here is um...
Well, a little more Fabulous I suppose -not Exactly our taste but hey,
It's still nice That they Added that as a Bonus
And Then we've got
This Small One Here, that's A mini-Me
So that's the two hole, two finger knuckle Duster
Also quite Nice
Overall Really Nicely Made there are A few
Rough Corners and Angles Here and There but it's Just, Overall it's very, well Made
Nicely Shape
and put Together and They Really Look nice I mean the Carbon fiber
Looks Amazing
Really Neat and Overall Shape and Everything I think This one Here is Probably my Favorite
It's because of the design
There is one Typical Mistake that People Make with These who put Them on for the first Time
Namely That They
Slip Them on all the way
and then Try to
Try to Use them like that you know Kind of Deliver a regular Punch and
Unfortunately I Cannot Point with my other arm Because
Well separated shoulder Still A problem but
I can at Least point with a stick here so if you, were to Punch like this and Meet Resistance Then
This is going to push
Straight Down on your Fingers
Like that and
That Could Be A problem so the correct way to do that is to Make sure that
It's Resting against... its Braced against the Palm of your Hand
Like that and you're Aligning them more like this so not like that
but this Way
so that way you could Punch Without Hurting Yourself
And Well As far as Usage is Concerned the Makers Discourage any Kind of
violent Behavior
on the Website it Says We Strongly Discourage the Buyer to use this Novelty Knuckle Duster in Any Way that Can Cause any Harm and
That's Always Good to Point out Both for legal Reasons and ethical
as well, so
Don't get a pair of These and Slip them all next Time jehovah's Witnesses Knock at your door no Matter how Tempting that might be
That's not, okay, they are quite nice to have in the Collection as
Conversational Art Pieces Or if You want to vent after a stressful day in the office you can grab, one of those or two and
Unleash your Fury on a watermelon or anything like that I haven't tested Those yet I
Simply Can't With The Recent Injury from the accident but
but I plan to do that as Soon as Possible so then I'll Punch some Coconuts and Squash and
Stuff Like that Just to have A bit of fun and See how well they Work
Normally I Don't like to talk about Anything that I haven't tested Myself but
In This case I just wanted to show you that These exist because you May not have Been
Aware of that
And it's going to Take Quite a while until I can be Physically active again I wanted to get the Video done so you can
Check These out and
Yeah, I said as Soon as possible I'll do some tests with them
until Then I hope you found that Interesting
And Thanks for Watching
