Arkansas is a gun-toting state but what about other weapons for example brass knuckles? Are they considered illegal to carry in the state of Arkansas?

Any object that can alter a punch more forcefully to do damage or even kill someone is unlawful to have.

Firearms that are silenced when they're fired such as a silencer
Machine Guns
Bombs, contraband, grenades, or other explosive devices made to do harm

Now, you may be asking what about knives?
Arkansas does not restrict or forbid any type of knife unless you use the knife with intent to stab someone or cause physical injury or death then it becomes illegal. Carrying a knife is okay for protection as long as it's not used illegally.
