^Lot 890087 Handmade Japaneze Neko-te / Tekagi-shuko Cat or Tiger H

Handmade Japaneze Neko-te / Tekagi-shuko Cat or Tiger Hands The name given to several contraptions fitted in or over the hand, with sharp blades or pins sticking out. Some of these original neko-te that were shaped like metal gloves had pins standing up from the metal plate covering the back of the hand, designed to trap other weapons and leave minor damage when required, while the long claw-like tips of the fingers were used to stab at arteries and other vital areas, and to scratch through exposed skin. mwf2020
