"Knuckleduster"

Is a knuckleduster an offensive weapon and what's the worst that can happen to you if the police catch you with it? Can they charge you with possession of an offensive weapon? One of my mates got arrested for having it, but being the bright spark he is said he "just found it". Didn't stop the police choppers chasing him. Got the 'cuffs on him, just wondering what's the worst that could happen to him.

Couple of other crimes I'm interested in what the worst case scenario is. You might know that East London is famous (or at least round here it is) for having "green" houses, which are literally filled with cannabis. Some mates stole 4kg of the stuff from some Chinese who live there. What's the worst that can happen if you are found to have nicked all this stuff? And is CS gas illegal? What about a screwdriver if you can't prove it's not an offensive weapon?

And yet, back in the day they were all the rage!
