At first blush, one might think that the brass knuckles should 
read backward, so that they'll print (incise?) the forward-reading 
letters into the deserving forehead... which of course presents 
a nice permanent lesson to all who read the forehead.

But then, one considers the reason for having picked THAT 
forehead in particular, and one comes to the happy notion 
that, if the brass letters read forward, then:

a) the (soon-to-be) knucklehead will be able to read it coming

b) the knucklehead will read the message each time he looks in a 
    mirror

c) if you apply with sufficient force, any third parties who are 
   interested can simply go round to the back of the knucklehead 
   to read the message.

I suggest a nice, rugged, lean font that presents well through 
swelling, blood, scar tissue...

If you are doing this at sea, please remember to "ground" your 
brass knuckles to a sacrificial anode.
