If you allow a player to parry with brass knuckles, there is a 3 in 6 chance of it breaking when parrying a large knife. parrying any weapon 2 lb or over automaticly breaks the brass knuckles and the parry doesn't even count.(Parrying Heavy Weapons on page b376)

edit:
And just because it is listed on the on the Melee Weapon Table doesn't automaticly make it able to "parry edged weapons and does not suffer the failed unarmed parry penalties". Punches and kicks are also listed and they do suffer unarmed penalties.
