These are hard molded knuckles right?

yes, not carbon fiber, but they are a hard material, kind of like a rubberized plastic.

No they are hard. I do not recommend . There are better products that are soft .

Yes, I have the gel ones, as well as slide on wraps. If you wear these without wraps it will tear your knuckles up.

No, they're stamped. Some of these answers are confusing 'full tang' with 'forged'.

Since these gloves "might be" considered akin to brass knuckles you may want to double check their usage in your state with local officals. As of the new year (01/2013) there have been at least 800 new laws signed into affect across the country.

Yes. They are very decent for training and hitting the bags, even sparring. They just hurt my fingers when worn with MMA gloves.

These are made from a heavier material than the ones for sale in super markets which puncture so readily. I'm still using the pair given to me a year ago, but I do alternate them with two other pairs of different Gloveble designs because I liked them so much.

there are but they are hard to feel with gloves of any kind on. They are on the underside (right) of the rigid band.

No, they are constructed of different layers of foam. They work great by the way, I have about six pair!

They are pretty soft. If you press them with your finger they crumble. I love them! My old guy is getting around great after being on them!

Yes they are. That's actually what I bought them for and what I use them for. I washed them the other day in the washing machine because they were a little stinky and they came out really nice. So othere than the stitching slightly coming out in one of the fingers they seem to be pretty durable.

They are fairly hard. They can be indented with my thumb just a little. I use them to carry soy sprays in my lunch bag so they are pretty durable. They do ship from China so the ship time is a couple weeks.

Personally I think they are. They are smaller, fitting inside my palm better. There are exercises included that I know I would find more difficult with a tennis ball. And I have found the three different firmnesses helpful in slowly building up my strength.

It depends on the use. They would be fine for sparring, but for hitting a heavy bag, no. If you are going to be using a heavy punching bag you want something that completely covers the hand. I used these for a punching bag and my knuckles got torn to shreds.

No they are not, I personally would not buy them again, although they are cute a lot of them were broke or ready to break as they are molded separately and then put together. they are thick bigger than what I thought.

They are semi-hard rubber. I can rest mine while I type but prefer not to - personal preference.

They are decent for light bag work. If you keep control and form they will be fine. Nice medium between protection and damaging for calcification. The lower knuckles will be exposed.
