In medieval times, did any weapons such as metal claws that can be attached on the hand or wrist exist?

Question

If so, could anyone send me a link to an article or photos?

Answer 1

yes. some of the armer that goes on the hands some times had them. there were also wooden blocks with three claws(about 5 to 8 inchs long) in them, you grab the block and your fingers go in between the blades

Answer 2

No such thing existed in medieval Europe. However, articulated hourglass or finger gauntlets did have several nasty protrusions on them along the fingers and knuckles that could do a real good number if you were to punch or backhand someone. While it was not common for a man who could afford gauntlets to hit an opponent with them, such a punch would do terrible damage to an unarmoured opponent.

i ought to purely anticipate this question is sparked with the help of the sport diablo :) yet confident that they had very comparable weapons... The race to locate improvments in weaponry replaced right into a bother-free presence interior the middle a while and that they went via many unique designs... One comparable may be sited in use with the help of the blood queen herself, Elizabeth Bathory, who used a sort of Cat o' 9 tails that replaced into actual like a claw with spikes on the top used to whip and tear the flesh on the back for torture... could make an exciting way in defeating Andarial anyhow :)

Answer 4

Katar. Its any broken blade or claw attached to the hand and wrist. they were used by persians and ninjas. As well as people in eastern asia please quit posting this article. there easy to make. Take a broken tip of a sword. or three pieces of rebar. than take a glove. put the glove on your hand than usign your material of choice tie it to your glove and hand. If your palm doesn't like it being tied to you to bad. The persians and ninjas and monks that used these weapons racked there hands so much that the scar tissue had no nerves. these weapons are very innefective tehy hurt your hand more than they hurt your opponenet and if theres no wrist support you will break your wrist. theres no martial art that teaches its use because it's a last resort weapon. the only people stupid enough to refference the damn thign made final fantasy 8. Good game bad reference check. they forgot to read why people quit using katar the simple fact is you got killed more using them than you did actually killing with them. and using it as a primary weapon is dum. knowign how to make them on a battlefield would be quintissential if your sword broke but we don't use swords any more. so quit tryign to take up a dead art

Answer 5

Metal claws ala Wolverine from the X-Men....no.

But practitioners of Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu would wear shuko and ashiko, or spiked hand and foot bands for climbing up trees, sword or bladed-weapon catching or simply maiming an opponent.

An example :

It's rare to see Shuko made as they were traditionally....the modern versions are garbage in comparison.
