Glove spikes

Legends Canon version → Linked from 5 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Glove spikes, also known as spiked knuckle guards, were small studs or spiked blades that could be attached to gloves or gauntlets to increase damage dealt in hand-to-hand combat. Many pirates, mercenaries and bounty hunters used them as a last resort, in case they lost their main weapon. Some Mandalorian crushgaunts were fitted with spikes made of beskar. Ubese armor worn by Boushh (and later Leia Organa) had studded gloves.
