They are used to remind ourselves of what can we do, and what we are capable of, also that with the correct tool we can be much powerful ans strong than we already are. Wearing a Brass Knuckle is like say "I own this, I know how to use and I'm not afraid to smash your face."

 

Its like a lucky charm for protection and warning, like if with this already on your body you would be much more powerful, or something like that.

Sadly however, this weapon is becoming trendy. Emo or hardcore generation is wearing this mass marketed picture of a brass knuckle on T-Shirts, Necklace, Hoody, Pants, Ring, Shoe, and so on, losing his original meaning because most of them didnt even know how to use it!
