Are they Legal to own in California?
Not from what I've heard. I thought maybe one of those things that's legal to own but not carry with you or use.

Yeah, didn't want to stir up controversy. Just thought it was interesting they were finally released again. Since I'm sure lots of members on here live in the states where it is legal, I'm sure they'll want a pair.
actually they can be owned in most states as long as they are a PAPER WEIGHT....If you catch my drift.
Well if anyone here supports people that rip off other artists then go ahead and get some! :lol They are pretty cheap in both price and quality.

If they are illegal to be sold and owned, explain this.

I found some pics of the original run on their server so I know they took the idealized design from me.
No. They do not magically become legal by "calling" them a paper weight. The law does not care. Brass knuckles are brass knuckles period no matter how many times you call them a collectable movie prop, or paper weight.
The only way they "might" be considered allowable is if the fingerholes are filled in solid (and would take a great deal of effort to drill out) making it impossible to "wear" the item on your fingers like brass knuckles. But even this is supposition on my part. It could be that in some States the law is strict enough to prohibit anything remotely resembling brass knuckles.
Also I don't think this thread should be locked/deleted as this is a pretty important subject.

"If FB says these are recast off of his work, thats good enough for me to steer clear."
That is enough for me too. I was interested at first till FB mentioned they ripped off his design.
Also, if you'll note. All of their knuckles have a hole on one side for a belt buckle pin. On the Constantine knucks they only ever show one side. The other side has a small threaded hole for the buckle pin. They don't mention it anywhere on the site but if you watch the first video on the main page you'll hear the guy mention that they all have them.
