Moon Knight's cestus is a fictional melee weapon featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is associated with the character of Moon Knight and first appeared in Werewolf by Night #32 in August, 1975.
The weapon functions similarly to a traditional cestus, which is an ancient battle glove with spiked tips upon the knuckles. Moon Knight's are coated with silver, which makes it an ideal weapon for close-quarter combat against a werewolf. He has utilized these weapons on both hands in instances where he had to fight off Jack Russell on the nights of the full moon.
