Modern vs Traditional like styling, Mass produced vs hand made...
The choices!
Tekagi-shuko (手かぎ手虎 lit. "Tiger hook hands"?) and neko-te (猫手 lit. "Cat hands"?) were two of the many kakushi buki (隠し武器 lit. "hidden weapon"?) deployed by the ninja of Japan. The main ryu (school) of ninjutsu that deployed such weapons were of the Togakure-ryū.

Although many variations of this particular weapon existed, they typically consisted of two metal bands conjoined by a leather strip - one fitting around the palm and the other around the wrist. The upper band featured a variety of spike/claw-like protrusions that were useful for both offensive and utilitarian purposes, as well as in defensive techniques (disarming and such). The use of this weapon is still taught by the Bujinkan dojo under Masaaki Hatsumi and the Jinenkan under Manaka Unsui
