I've always wanted a set of ABS plastic knucks, on the theory that they are totally invisible to metal detectors.

...also I need a good glass knife a la Raven in Snow Crash.

The purse would still legally be brass knuckles, and therefore illegal in any jurisdiction where brass knucks are illegal.

The mug is a maybe.

The wood would be legal, but I'm sure NYC will ban them soon, with "metal or plastic knuckles."

ABS knuckles used to be available. I'll have to see if I still have a source.
