Iron Knuckles is a Fist Weapon in Demon's Souls and Demon's Souls Remake. Fist Weapons are worn on both hands and excel in short-range combat, allowing players to execute fast and rapid attacks that can quickly execute hostile characters.
A hand-to-hand weapon held in the fist. It's [sic] reach is the lowest of levels, but it hits fast. Stonefang's rough blacksmiths love this weapon and sometimes get drunk and slug it out.

a very fun and viable build is 2 of these with the spell Curse Weapon. Demons souls doesn't have powerstancing like ds2 or elden ring, but its still surprisingly versatile. your right hand R1 is your main dps and backstab/crit weapon and your left hand has a parry along with a very quick L1 attack that can be used to get the first hit off. the r2 is very slow and kinda bad in most situations, but it can be used for wakeups after backstab/riposting an enemy.

I just got 2 in that first room full of miners. Crazy that they’re apparently so rare. I must be a luck boy

I refuse to believe this weapon ever drops, could never find one in the original and still can't find one now even with full black tendency and the ring.

It’s fun to beat up enemies with a pair of laundry irons. They’re surprisingly effective too.
