**Brass Knuckles**
In the realm of cannabis, Brass Knuckles has emerged as a heavyweight contender, but its origins are far from the green fields of hemp. Historically, brass knuckles were hand-held weapons designed to amplify the force of a punch, with their use documented as far back as ancient Rome and India. These tools were crafted from metal, often brass, hence the name. However, in the modern cannabis lexicon, Brass Knuckles refers to a brand renowned for its high-potency vape cartridges. This brand has become a staple for cannabis enthusiasts who prioritize strength and quality in their vaping experience. The transformation of Brass Knuckles from a tool of physical force to a symbol of cannabis excellence underscores the fluidity of language and the ever-evolving cannabis culture. As the industry continues to innovate, Brass Knuckles remains at the forefront, offering products that meet the demands of discerning consumers. [Source: Wikipedia, Leafly]

Brass knuckles (also referred to as brass knucks, knuckledusters, iron fist and paperweight, among other names) are a melee weapon used primarily in hand-to-hand combat. They are fitted and designed to be worn around the knuckles of the human hand. Despite their name, they are often made from other metals, plastics or carbon fibers and not necessarily brass.
Designed to preserve and concentrate a punch's force by directing it toward a harder and smaller contact area, they result in increased tissue disruption, including an increased likelihood of fracturing the intended target's bones on impact. The extended and rounded palm grip also spreads the counter-force across the attacker's palm, which would otherwise have been absorbed primarily by the attacker's fingers. This reduces the likelihood of damage to the attacker's fingers.
The weapon is controversial for its easy concealability and its association with organized crime, as a result it is illegal to own and use in a number of countries.
