Im interested in toughening my knuckles also so as I understand it punching hard objects / knuckle pushups are best sounds pretty logical but quick question since I saw something that confused me a bit...

I agree completely with the heavy bag hitting... they will toughen up your knuckles alot. Just be sure you are hitting correctly, - only the first 2 knuckles should be hitting (index and middle finger proximal joint, between metacarpals and phalanges, or 'hand-bones' and 'finger-bones' if you'd like
Ok so assuming my fingers are like this:

IIIII (pinkie, index, middle, right, thumb)
IIIII
IIIII
hand

(assuming I have my hand in a fist)
I should be hitting with the joints between the 2nd and 3rd row of fingers or where they meet correct(the bolded area)?

sorry the diagram is a bit confusing but before I go out and do this I want to make sure im making myself punch with the right spot ^^
