They're used in numerous popular media and have been around since ancient times.  Despite their portability and lightweight, the brass knuckles proved an effective yet inexpensive option for close-quarter fighting. In its simplest form, a knuckle duster is practically a metal ring whose sides have been shaped outwardly to create holes for the fingers.  As they are typically made of spring steel, the user will be able to exude the greatest amount of force when they squeeze their fist around them.
