Investment cast .99 silver knuckles. Perfect for taking down a werewolf with one punch!

I used this as a chance to do some stone setting; adding a 5mm zirconia.

It dawned on me the other day that the mold would accept jeweler’s wax for making an investment cast.

This is 5 troy ounces of fine silver with a bit of tin added to make them hard.

You can knock a werewolf out with one punch wearing these!

Alternate form: “Officer, the law says ‘brass knuckles’ are illegal. These are Tiffany silver.”

Cast in .99 fine silver with a small amount (~10%) of tin added. Investment cast using open mold and lost wax.
