I don't get it.
The author of the Studio Bullitt over-does it with unrelenting "creative" humor antics that it says nothing about what the product does. Get to the point without sideaction, like Deez does.
Also if its supposed to be used like brass knuckles, the dork in the picture is holding it backwards. DORK!
Maybe the designer as well screwed it up, thinking the solid part is used for punching when in fact it is a mass for your fist to wrap around. Hence....brass KNUCKLES...dur.
yo deez. why don't you take another look...when used for FISHING, you must hold the knuckles backwards- you DORK.
I understand the intentions for this product as a survival tool, however, as an avid fisher I could tell you that I would never rely on this product. It would be very difficult to punch the fish with the acrylic knuckles on...especially since the top or crown of the fish's head is relatively small and allows less room for contact. And I'm not sure why you would carry this product with you all the time and then by chance find yourself in survival mode and needing to catch a trout. Also, in the user photo, it appears as though the fish is already dead as part of the inside is exposed. Resembles a trout you would buy at the grocery store that has been split down the middle and gutted.
Nice project:
BUT - I used a cheap kite line for fishing and a stone for punching when I was about 6 years old - worked great.....about 99% the same than this - but no new mono-use product needed....
