Brass knuckles (or really anything that protrudes from the hand/fist/whatever) are a different story. They protrude from the knuckles and are thinner and dense. So yea, they are going to do more damage. They dig in a bit more, break more things in the face because of their design. But that can be applied to anything.
Let's say we give our champion boxer an adamantium skeleton. He punches you. It hurts like hell. Now, let's take away that adamantium and replace it regular bone. He hits you the with the same strength, speed, technique of the previous punch and in the same place (let's say the same place is now healed). It will hurt the exact same, given the bones don't break, which they shouldn't with a trained boxer.
Now, let's give the same boxer a pair of brass knuckles. He punches you with them. It hurts and damages even more than the previous two punches because of their design.
Thank you. And now I'm spent.
