-Name: no idea

- Classification: "hard light brass knuckles" already have four words, but I don't like the name. so, no idea yet

- Weapon Derivation: brass knuckles

- Form 1 Appearance: a pair of dark gray brass knuckes, darker lines for the dust, the dust canister has blue lights, the claws and blades are glowy somewhat transparent hard light dust.

- Form 2:  a pair of dark gray brass knuckes with small holes at the punchy part. small lines that carry dust go from the pointy bit to the small dust canister in the palm of the user. the dust canister can be replaced by opening up the palm part.

When activated the punchy part gets small hard light claws to punch better. The claws can be customizable and if needed can be really long, but only under special circumstances.

- Dust Usage: hard light dust for the claws and blade

- Usage: punching, utility (climbing, smashing). clawing

- Planned/Possible Upgrades: NOT SURE YET: sword. so the idea was that such a small thing could form a big sword for fun, but then I actually thought about it and made it. it would run out of dust muuuuch faster, so only for quick fights. Buuuuuut... (this is where Spirit comes in with a "f*** no") a sword like this would break your fingers. Ow.

So I probably won't use the sword, I just added it to show my thought process.

- Notes: small, concealable, it was used for self defense, but also for an assassination.

The claws probably couldn't be used for climbing. I'm not quite sure, but they look a lot different from shuko or tekagi-shuko. I think it would be more effective if the claws were on the inside of the palm.

I don't know a lot about spiked knuckles in combat, so I can't help you there. If you want to have an upgrade you could put  gravity dust in the index and middle finger areas for the extra kinetic blast.

For a sword, as long as you don't use the reverse grip too much, it should be fine. For a trench knife, there's no issue because even though you are shortening your weapon's effective range, you are still using the large muscles in your arms and back (delts, traps, etc.) to strike. With a sword, you lose that ability so your strikes become weaker.
