Get rid of the nonsense about "hidden knuckle dusters!"?

As anyone knows, you do not do one set thing when you are defending yourself, the knuckle protrusion is likely just another potential way of causing harm, just like the point of the weapon, the edges, the pommel, the tsuba (cant remember the term for the equivalent on european swords :D).

Anyway, all this nonsense about it being wildly impractical, and likely used as some sort of stealthy surprise weapon, because hell the guy trying to kill you punching you is surprising..? It is just laughable. Cleaning it up would improve article in my opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.81.109.62 (talk) 03:43, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Spare gauntlets for throwing down: special "throwing gauntlets"

Question: (I couldn't find the answer on the Internet. ) If Knight A throws down a gauntlet, and Knight B picks up the gauntlet, does Knight B hand the gauntlet back to Knight A before the fight? If Knight A threw away his gauntlet, he might be forced to fight without it. Or did knights carry spare ceremonial gauntlets for throwing down?Anthony717 (talk) 02:43, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
