The Knuckle Duster is a melee weapon in GTA 5 and GTA Online, listed here at a community-reported price of $7,500. Like every melee weapon it carries 0 base damage in the data, since melee combat runs on attack animations, but the data records it supporting up to 10 attachments, more than most melee items. Worn over the fist rather than swung like a bat or wrench, it keeps your hands looking free while still counting as a melee weapon in combat. The lock on and strike controls work the same as any other melee item, and NPCs typically go down after a short string of hits regardless of what covers your knuckles. The attachment support in the data suggests finishes or camo options rather than anything that changes its damage, which stays at 0 like the rest of the class. Confirm the price at the counter since it is marked community-reported here rather than pulled from a confirmed listing. It has no Mk II version, so it is a style and customization pick rather than a mechanical upgrade over other melee weapons.
Pick it up in the world or buy it from Ammu-Nation.
