Brass Monkeys

Yeah, I can see why you'd need them. Snide remarks like that would make someone want to take a swing at you.

My question, oh wise one, was what was the purpose, assuming you'd use them for something other than just making them. People usually don't take time and effort to make things like that and not do anything with them.

Like swords, guns, guitars, decorations and other forms of art AMIRITE. But seriously, some people ENJOY making things. When you CAN'T have something, it tends to make you want it more. I wouldn't mind some brass knuckles just for the **** of it. Self defense and preservation are also good reasons if you tend to live in a shady place.
