Anyway, I tried them on in the store and was like "whoa, you could punch someone with spikes while wearing these!" So I made a fist with my right hand and softly punched my left palm as a test strike. I instantly realized that there was no padding behind the spikes at all and instead you could feel the rough back of the metal pressing into your knuckles. They were 100% decorative and if you actually punched someone with them, you'd probably do more damage to your own hand than to the other person.



    I assume those gloves you posted are actually designed for punching.

    Yeah, sap gloves are lined with steel or lead.
    It's like being hit by an actual iron fist.
