Technically it is legal for you to own them as long as they are carried in the confines of your own home or on private property that you possess. Iowa does not do a very good job of clarifying this as they do not expressly mention brass knuckles or anything like them in the wording of their laws.
However, read Chapter 724.4, subsection 1 which I have paraphrased below.
724.4 Carrying weapons.
1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a person who goes armed with a dangerous weapon concealed on or about the person, or who, within the limits of any city, goes armed with a pistol or revolver, or any loaded firearm of any kind, whether concealed or not, or who knowingly carries or transports in a vehicle a pistol or revolver, commits an aggravated misdemeanor.
Nowhere in Chapter 724 do they mention brass knuckles and do not define brass knuckles under offensive weapons in Chapter 724.1. However, from the quote above, "a dangerous weapon" could be construed to mean brass knuckles. Having done a little bit of quick case law search from Iowa, brass knuckles generally fall under this category of "dangerous weapon" making them illegal. The exception to making them illegal if they indeed are lies in Chapter 724.4, subsection 4, part a which can be seen below.
4. Subsections 1 through 3 do not apply to any of the following:
a. A person who goes armed with a dangerous weapon in the person's own dwelling or place of business, or on land owned or possessed by the person.

I have recently bought a brass knuckle belt buckle and you can use them as knuckles and a belt buckle will i get in trouble for having them in my luggage at the airport?
Yes you will, if you're caught. In America, brass knuckles are an illegal weapon if you're not law enforcement, within the boundaries of the US. While citing chapter and verse of each State law in this context, you'll find that this is controlled at the State level, but in cases of air travel, there may also be Federal consequences as well. While stowed leggage *may* not be scanned, policy on this varies quite a lot over time and location. Ironically, if properly registered, declared and stowed, a rifle or handgun will not raise an eyebrow. I'd avoid possession of that weapon myself.
