TuffKuff handcuffs - any leads for sale?

I'm on the hunt for 2 pairs of TuffKuff handcuffs but they appear to be completely out of production?

Anyone know anyone selling them or what to obtain them? I'm based in Ireland but can also have things sent to the UK as well.

Thanks folks!

I have been looking for a pair myself but have been unable to find these anywhere. I don't think many were made.  My guess would be between 500-1000 were made. 

Oh wow that few? damn, so pretty damn rare then!

I don't know the exact numbers but I don't believe it's more than 1000.  Anyone else on here know the number produced? 

There were a lot more than 1000 Tuff Kuffs produced. Handcuff Warehouse sold more than 1000. There were 4 different models. Our last order from them was received in 2014. The creator, Paul Amo, was a police officer from New York who moved to Florida. He sold the company in 2014 and the new owner never did anything with it. I tried to keep in touch, but all phone numbers and emails went bad and a letter to his house was returned. 

Chris, thank you for the insight and information concerning Tuff Kuffs. Do you happen to recall how much HW sold the for, back then? Im just curious.

Apparently now owns a Hypnotherapy company.... keep your eyes on the handcuffs... you are feeling very sleepy...

Good to know. I'm still looking for my first pair. 

Tuff Kuffs came in 4 variations. Standard stainless steel were $84.99. Black stainless called Black Ops were $89.99, Alpha Bravo and Alpha Sierra were part silver and part black and both were also $89.99.

Thank you for sharing that and answering my question, Chris. I would have bought all 4 different variations, had I known of HW, back then.

the fall of tuff kuffs can probably be blamed on a few things. first off making handcuffs isn't cheap. it might seem that way but the engineering to the manufacturing to the testing are just part of the r&d challenges. then comes liability and my biggest fear of tuff kuffs was liability. the lock and turn design definitely added to departmental concerns of liability. while modern and secure and innovative i am willing to bet departments just were not willing to spend the money on them and were overly concerned with well liability. if i had to guess the original owner might have seen this or might have spent a lot of money on the company and decided it was time to recover his investment. if he indeed actually find a new buyer then either that buyer dollar bottomed out and gave up or maybe something happened in his personal life that prevented him from moving forward. i would think something along these lines for both the original owner and new owner would probably be close to what happened even if not entirely accurate. great cuffs but perhaps not at the best time. departments are looking to reduce liability and metal cuffs really damage both bone and skin. some have tried to fix this but the way i see it a thick smooth rubber mold needs to be over the metal of all handcuffs. metal on skin and metal on bones just doesnt work period.

The discussion of these cuffs on the Forum started in 2011.  It has some good information from the owner of the cuffs.  I believe there are more posts since their first production had a problem with the spring being too stiff.  The Company offered to replace the cuffs at no charge with modified springs.
