Holy shit, guys. It's like a sharpened muzzle break. It's anything and everything that can cause damage when you HAVE TO cause damage.
The knuckle hoops aren't just for punching, but to keep the weapon in hand. As last ng as you have a weapon in hand, your enemy has to adjust what he's doing to respond to that, limiting his options. If you're [moe]hugging,[/moe] you might not have the angle to effectively cut or stab with the blade, but if you can get it closer to him, the spikes can still grind against him, drawing blood, possibly severing a small artery or tendon. OR catching on webbing ot uniform and now you can control his body placement.
And all that assumes he didn't do the smart/foolish thing if grabbing the knife wrist, allowing you to twist around and nick him in his wrist, which makes his fight a ticking clock against passing out.
AND AND all of your buddies with bayonets affixed behind you very probably seeing you locked up with him and looking to run him through long before either of you would even need a second wind.
