tiger claw

Striped predator's hook

A tiger claw is a curved blade weapon designed to fit across the knuckles, with multiple short claws extending from a bar or plate gripped in the palm.

The design evokes a big cat's retracted claws.

Tiger claws appear in South Asian martial arts traditions and as decorative or collectible weapons: He picked up a pair of tiger claws at the knife show.
