It's not unlawful to carry a padlock, HOWEVER - it is the use to which you put the padlock that makes it an illegal weapon. The minute you slip the hasp over your knuckle(s) it is convereted into an unlawful usage.

Carrying a padlock as an improvised brass knuckle in Ohio could be considered illegal if it is used as a weapon or if there is intent to harm someone. Ohio law prohibits carrying concealed weapons, including improvised weapons like padlocks used in this manner. It is always best to check with local law enforcement or legal counsel for specific guidance.

What is a knuckle knife?

There was a trench knife issued to US Army troops that was a knife that had a "Brass Knuckles" handle. Brass Knuckles is a brass "ring" that you slip over your hand, each finger going into a loop. This is used for hand-to-hand fighting. The knife had this same construction as part of the handle/grip. I'm not sure if this was an official Army issue. The Army preferred the soldier carry a bayonet that would fit onto the rifle. This brass knuckle trench knife couldnot do this.
