It's really too bad...
That this item, and the other Fistwrap items, don't act as Hand-to-Hand weapons.
That would be neat to see, if Verant could code it. Weapon-slot equipable items that are used with the Hand-to-Hand skill.
Then maybe they could raise the Monk cap on HtH to 250 like it should be.

Still trying to pinpoint the date these items became Hand to Hand (H2H) from 1 hand blunt. It was either in the weeks leading up to Luclin, or the Luclin patch itself as there are many H2H items in Luclin.
Other items that should be 1 hand blunt rather than hand to hand also these weapons should not be in game or have their upgraded versions until October 2001:
- Wurmscale Fistwraps (also shouldn't be in game until October 2001, similar comments about not being H2H in 2001).
- Primal Velium Fistwraps (1 hand blunt to start, October 2001 1)
- Priceless Velium Fistwraps(1 hand blunt to start, October 2001 1)
- Fist of Nature (whether this should be in game is still up for debate 1, 2, 3).
- Gharn's Rock of Smashing (Upgraded to 16/19 in October 2001).
- Wu's Fist of Mastery (Shouldn't be in game yet 1, 2)
- Wu's Tranquil Fist

The random drop hand to hand newbie knuckles and fist that drop from old world content were added with/after Luclin.
