Question: Are brass knuckles legal in Arizona?

Answer:

Arizona has laws regulating the use and possession of deadly weapons defined as 'anything designed for lethal use' (ARS 13-105). Although a Court would ultimately decide on whether brass knuckles meet this definition, you would have a hard time trying to explain that your brass knuckles were for something other than smashing in someone's face.

If you carry a weapon without a permit as allowed under (ARS 13-3112) you are breaking the law.  Minors are prohibited from carrying concealed weapons.

At swap meets in the Tucson area (Tohono Odham, Tanque Verde) brass knuckles are branded and sold as "paperweights." It's a nice trick to make things appear nice and legitimate, but it's as absurd as labeling a KA-BAR fighting knife as a 'letter opener.' It doesn't fool anybody, least of all the police.
