The KnuckSlap™: A New Take on Knucks
Michael Janich explains and demonstrates the concept behind his new KnuckSlap™--an evolved modular brass knuckle design that combines a classic two-finger knuck with a palm sap. The result is a weapon that can be used to punch, slap, and grab with crushing effect.
The KnuckSlap™ concept was created by Michael Janich. Mark Olson of 5x5 Combat Soltions then took Janich's original wooden model and refined it in CAD to yield a finished, fully engineered design. Mike Mackin of Spectrum Energetics LLC then executed the design in 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum.
The KnuckSlap™ is available exclusively through Tactical Elements: www.tacticalelements.com/michael-janich-prototype-run-knuckslap-tm/.
P.S. The original name of this product was the "KnuckSap," however, several days before its release, another company revealed a different product by that name. Honoring their first commercial use of that name, we changed gears and christened ours the "KnuckSlap." Nevertheless, if you hear "KnuckSap" in the video, just imagine you hear an "L"...

    Thanks Mike. At the 2024 Blade Show I asked you what knife to buy and you whipped this beauty out. I bought one and have been carrying it every since. MBC grip friendly design and well explained. I don't know why it took me so long to get one.

    The base that goes into the palm needs to be rounded not an L shape. It will still have the same effect, but for punching would be more comfortable. Thanks and have a nice day.

    But aren’t you wearing those wrong? Duster should be worn lower, not close to the top knuckles. Never worn knuckles but watching them in quiet a few videos far more effective when not worn closet to the top of the fist.

    I've fallen in love with the Yojimbo, or the idea of it these last few weeks as I've watched videos teaching about the design and function of this knife. I want to buy one soon, and get some fancy hardware and maybe some custom scales. Haven't gotten this excited about a knife designn in a while! Always thought the knife looked interesting but was ugly and probably notn something I'd want to own. Now I do want to own one to be the knife that if I lost all of my collection, this would be the one knife I get to keep. Looks like a great utility knife, and as a self defense tool probably one of the most capable folding knives one can find.

    I was always on the fence about this. KC put one with CruWear on sale for $169. They might as well have held a gun to my head. It's on the way. This video popped up quite randomly. Great video. I wonder if this knife is going to replace the Ritter Hogue that I carry regularly?

    Even though it's a small development of the original design it's a far more effective EDC that you can use in so many different ways due to the excellent shape and size. How can I get hold of one, I'm in England I can see a decent open hand slap to the ear will be a serious deterrent to put an end to most situations escalating into a physical confrontation. And due to the size of it and striking quickly most people won't have a clue what just happened
