Knuckle Saber

[Thx1138]

Based off ancient Brawling weapons, the knuckle saber looks very similar to a standard lightsaber except for the added loop of metal in which the wielders fingers go through. Worn on the knuckles of the duelist, the knuckle saber must be made out of a lightsaber resistant material such as prink or cortosis. While wearing the knuckle saber, the duelist can use the hilt of the saber as a brawling weapon. While not necessary, a cortosis, prink or a mandolarian crush gauntlet can be worn on the off hand for added defense and brawling power. Some Knuckle sabers have been known to have spikes added to the handle for extra brawling power. Some Knuckle saber duelists have also been known to wear a knuckle saber and than wield a second lightsaber in a reverse grip in the same hand giving the duelist the same power as a double bladed lightsaber without the added hilt length.
