I’ve been waiting for Mike’s neighbors for years. His house and strip mall neighbors must be like “ah, crazy guy is out again- what’s he up to this time?”

neighbors at the end just casually witnessing another murder in Mike's backyard

The neighbors at the end was so funny.

*Punches through head* *Laughs in psychopath* *Friendly greeting to neighbor* 10/10 would watch again

15:42 "When it's go time, I just see red bro. I'm built different."

Bro "knuckle dusters" is such a cool word. I can't believe you think it's stupid. Iblike to say it while im wearing my top hot and monocle, while having a good donnybrook.

Finally you're back Mike! I was having Hard2hurt withdrawals lol.

The unintentional horror at 10:30 when you realize theres a mf under a dirty tarp, and hope its a training dummy.

The end was the best part of this whole vid. “Son, the best part is your neighbors thinking you’re a psycho. They won’t mess with you….oh hey Diane!” 😂🤣😂🤣

FINALLY ANOTHER HARD2HURT VIDEO!!

The transition from “oh nice I can crack a dudes jaw with these” to straight up murder had me ROLLING 😂😂😂

"Hey Dennis, how are you?" "...good!" 😂😂😂

Imagine you're in court and the DA shows 15:43 to the jury to "establish character" 😛

Icy Mike has completed his vision quest in the mountains of Nepal. Enlightened, he returns...with knuckledusters. Solid vid.

Icy Mike doesn't have social anxiety, social anxiety has Icy Mike

Wow, Maddox's voice has changes so much since the early days of your channel.

Seeing Mike repeatedly punching a skull while being covered in blood has to be terrifying, lmao

The, "if you need this one, then I don't think you need these." Made me laugh pretty hard haha.

My hands are metal

I'm 69, a disabled vet who wears glasses and a hearing aid. I'm easier to hurt than ever. I usually carry my cane, pepper spray, and a legal knife or screwdriver. That and common sense has worked like a charm every time so far (against dogs, not people).

Hi Mike. I am the father of the kids of the company who sponsored this video, and I very much enjoyed your take on the products. You alluded to the main comment I would make. You said that you held back without wearing a knuckle. That is because the handle of the knuckle is meant to protect the structure of your hand from breaking. Similar to a fighter wrapping his hands. This is why bare knuckle boxing is upside down as you know because the structure of the hand is the weak point, not just the skin. If you put the full knuckle on properly and gut punch a heavy bag I think you will understand why the internet maven's slashing away with their Knuckles are fidiots. And yes you have been sent many knuckles but you have not been sent many knuckles in four sizes. Think about how a woman is usually attacked first. Usually they grab their wrist. A small knuckle that fits her hand allows her to hammerfist the wrist of her would be captor. And oh if you had hammer-fisted the skull with the full knuckle, you also would understand the strength of it. The single knuckle is a great design and there are no statutes against it anywhere. But in a real fight without rules being able to hammer fist on someone's wrist is a huge plus. You should get an affiliate code from them and do a whole string of videos. Your first point in the video was the most important LOL. Corrosion yeah that's it.

Mike's having too much fun with this

Three concerns I have with brass knuckles: 1. They limit/over-commit what your hands can do. They take away too many options. I do not see them as an advantage over an empty hand. They might even give a false sense of safety or dominance. 2. They are illegal in lots of places, and you might not know about all the local laws that can change from county to county, or town to town. 3. After you survive the fight, you have to survive the trial. The prosecutor will say they show intent to do excessive harm in what is a fistfight situation.

What we really need are brass knuckles with a built in tactical flashlight.

I almost didn't click on this video because I've never been interested in brass knuckles, but I'm glad I did. This product looks pretty cool, and the non telegraph strikes are a bonus.

Love this kind of content really like all your videos specially the ones testing self defense weapons. Hope all is well with you and your family much love and respect from Kansas City Missouri.

THE END LOL. I love this channel

The ending with the neighbors gave me major Purge vibes.

I've trained different variations, but it's always quick like that. I think a quick strike to the bridge of the nose doesn't have to be super hard, doesn't have to break the nose but it can. That's a kind of pain that can be discouraging. But then again, if the nose looks like an exotic squash of some kind before the fight, forget what I said.

Skallagrim had a video a while ago about a different knuckleduster design that would be way more practical than the standard type. Would be curious what Icy Mike thinks of it.

I like the "skin tone" color of it because at a glance it's invisible. "Hi Dennis" ... LOL

Props to nometalknucks. Good designs and way to move the needle on 3d printed self defense products. Love to see other makers out there going down this path.

Bro this video was amazing. Pure gold at the end

Whenever Mike releases a new video about anything with weapons or testing something new makes me so happy, like genuinly makes my day better :)) Well see you in a month on another video!!

ICY MIKE WITH THE KNUCKLE DUSTERS!

This was a truly magnificent video. I'm glad to see that I wasn't the only one who was laughing hysterically at the end.

I could get behind this product. And it's always exciting to see a hard2hurt notification. Good to see you again, Mike.

That ending was so perfect.. just earned a sub.

Great video Mike! That first five minutes had me worried you were strapped for cash, but you brought it home (literally) I classic H2H style. Your neighbors response had me cracking up!!

Dude the joy he had while " holding and hitting..." I'm glad he was socialized.

Nice testing at the end. I would say the stand allowing the skull to move with the impact is a good simulation of someone recoiling when they are hit, so the shot may not be fully absorbed on a human anyway.

i wanted to reply to that comment saying we need plastic brass knuckle dusters with tactical flashlights - genius.

My main gripe with the brass knuckles is that you can't really rely on it if your life was in danger. Picture this, imagine you're in danger and grab your knuckles and now your attacker grabs a knife. Don't you feel at least a little bit like an idiot at that point thinking you were gonna do glancing hits with your plastic brass knuckles. Just drop the thing and run would be my advice. Don't rely on a sub-par weapon. And if you can't rely on it why carry it in the first place?

This was such an amazing video. Keep up the good work. Love the neighbor bit at the end.

Im calling it The Mood Changer ! In a split second he goes from skull smashing to "Hi Denis", brilliant !

I used to think you were a cocky know-it-all. Turns out you are appropriately confident with lots of experience and knowledge. I subbed. Ya done got me.

"My life's work has led to this moment."

H2H there was an incident where a well known gangster with the initials DH attacked the bodyguards of a witness in a courts waiting room in London, UK. The men all made it through the metal detectors with plastic knuckle dusters and attacked the bodyguards who were all well known fighters themselves (very large men who were used to being hit) There was blood all over the walls and the victims all had lengthy stays in hospital with serious injuries. These weapons are very dangerous but a lot less lethal than say a knife. There are many videos of brass knuckles being used online where hammerfists result in a KO.

I LOVED this video. Excellent demonstration of what the dusters can do. I'm ordering a single. That will come in so handy if the opportunity ever arises.

Great video, the ending was hilarious😂

Mine are already on order, so seeing this endorsement is great timing 😁. You covered in blood and laughing is a great final image

Hello from France. You really cracked me up at the end of this video. Your neighbours must be very respectful. Nice analysis on the pros and cons of this new defense (attack ?) tool.

That psychopathic moment at the end of this video! OMFG!

The ending of the video was worth the watch

This is my first of your videos. Very fun. Thanks for sharing. It was right around the 15 minute mark, I thought to myself with a smile, "what a fun job."

I need one of those!

I'm glad you showed the shuffle too for those of us that don't hover well. Makes us feel included.

You are awesome thank you for all the work you do!

IF* you were going to use them, would you prefer to have them on your jab hand or power hand?

seems like a redesign of the old comtech stinger. Plus side of this new style, more protection of the knuckle and better retention. The old stinger jutted out between your fingers, but that made it easier to grab quickly. for either style it seems like your hand isn't really in danger until it's to late for the other guy anyway. just checked, they still sell the stinger. it's a dead simple design you could 3d print or injection mold so I'm not too surprised.

Great vid! Would love to see ur take on push knives or ring handle knives

A little bit of bloodlust there but it's no big deal. The neighbours will pay for the fence to be completed.

Great advice at the end there.

Hello, I know it’s an old video but better late than never! I’m in Greece and brass knuckles is something commonly edc together with a knife. The first time I tried to hit something with a BK I almost broke my fingers. Everybody laughed and then explained me the proper way. You fit the BK as rings but what you do is you hold as hard as you can the portion of BK which is in your palm. Like when holding a lighter. You are going to feel the impact but not in your finger, in the inside base of your palm. Hope I helped a lil!

16:19 "Idk when u would need to do this, but its good to know u could." - manufacturers of the tsar bomba

I was not prepared for the Tootsie Pop references 😂

Great video! One quick question though: Regarding this particular brand do you recommend the single knuckle over the traditional 4 knuckle model? Thanks Mike!

It’s so good to see Mike! I was very concerned about him when he demonstrated getting shot with the Grimburg Gavle. His chest was badly bruised. I’m going to buy this item and see for myself. Lol 😆

Yes good to see another excellent video. I am hoping for an announcement about whats going on with RKM studio since I saw the IG picture. This one was really cool! great video

I make wooden defensive weapons out of Brazilian Jatoba, a very hard wood, almost as dense as water. My favorite one is like a ring dagger, but with a short, blunted pyramid-like point, instead of a blade. It's for incapacitating limbs, by causing trauma to large muslces and nerve clusters You gave me an idea for a new weapon to make. Thank you!

Awesome brother I need a pair for sure

Plastic knucks; definitely a great modern idea. Knucks are great for protecting your hands (if sized and worn properly) like gloves for a boxer/mma fighter. They also make breaking a jaw much much easier; but also makes a slippery slope toward lethality. Great video

Ey, ex gravy seal here, don't know if you remember me from a few videos ago. Just bought one of the single knucks. Looks perfect for the few things I've actually gotten any good at! Thank you, Icy Mike!

I have a self defense tool called a Stinger. I bought a few of those years ago. Same concept. But these look good. And yeah the neighbors at the end are funny!

Missed a great opportunity to say "but what do we actually do with this? Knuckley..." and I will forever be saddened by this.

I haven’t seen one of your videos in my feed for a super long time, random this one popped up at the top.

That was absolutely amazing.

You know I didn't think you're gonna get to the part where you're like. Yeah, these are cool and great. Put you're right very limited use case but very cool. I want one

Fit and form on NMKs is superb.

I re-manufacture and reverse engineer antique knuckles dusters and if you ask me, the effectiveness of any said knuckle comes down to design. The Bc41 for instance is a masterpiece, near perfect ergonomics and serrated end to crush jaws and bones on impact.

The neighbors at the end was the icing on the cake! 🤣

Damn that single "knuck" seems really practical. I feel like people have been sleeping on synthetic/hard plastic weapons, they're much easier to maintain, often cause less "accidents" and are generally more affordable too. I feel like giving the knuck a full grip instead of seperating the fingers is a genius move too, many knuckle like weapons in history had basically a grip for the full hand. No idea why modern brass knuckles seperate the fingers if the whole idea of a punch is to keep the hand tight so you dont mess up your fingers.

I appreciate your commentary, but that ending was Epic!

15:52 that laugh was diabolical af lol

Will definitely be purchasing one of these. The brass ones just make me uncomfortable with the idea of being in a situation where I'm forced to respond. They are a deterrent but that legal layover is probably more problematic than not. These just feel more appropriate for when I'm out jogging/walking.

A few years ago, I saw your episode on holding a chapstick in your hand, making a fist and using it in a self-defense situation. I've kept a roll in my pocket since then and two weeks ago, deployed said chapstic during a dustup I had at a supermarket. Life saved.

jo i used a lighter with a steel ring for a while and it worked exactly like that! i need this!

You still have the homemade double end bag! I still have mine and use mine.I use it a few times a week. Actually a quick question. I figured out how to land the lead uppercut on it, basically a lead hook with a lean to the left, but I can't land the rear uppercut unless I have it clinched. Any insight?

I have suffered from injury involving my hands... Took a while to heal properly. I carried a kubaton for years because I knew that my strong hand wasn't strong. It gave me peace of mind to know I still could have two useful hands

Mike, brass knuckles can be used as they are if they're thick, since they eill slip and move if they are too light due to not having enough to grip on them. Also adding some rope in the palm part to make it thicker and less slippery

I love that “bop” is a universal boxing description.

mike looks even crazier with glass at the end i don't know why cool vid

I saw someone get hit with a grazing shot by brass knuckles in high school. The guy who got hit had his ear hanging off his freaking head. Gross.

Can you throw hammer fists with that thing as well or does one have to select a bigger size in that case?

my coach calls the hover step a hustle step, and it looks like a gazelle jab which i also throw off my 1-2. great combo for self defense and combat sports

Okay the neighbors being like “umm heyyyy” is actual gold

You look DERANGED 17:12 😂 great video

Thanks! LOVE the videos as always. I have learn so much from watching your channel. if I could ask can u one day make a video rating different brass knuckles. I currently carry one from a company called BONETACTICAL. I live in NYC and been covert is a must. if not then a video on wat covert tools I can carry over without been stop by the police. I currently carry my flash light (yes one that u have recommended ) my skallywag and my bone. yes I'm aware as u have said train is must and practice too. thanks. Good luck in u move.

The Hey Mike hey Dennis had me dying 😂😂
