Get Wolverine Claws, Just Don't Get Carried Away

Weird and potentially dangerous gadgets for the next Halloween

Well, how about getting some claws like Wolverine of X-Men fame had? Sounds nice and, most likely, they'll also look nice. And since they're available, the "don't get carried away" advice looks more and more like a good one. Now, Halloween came and went away, but why not seize the moment and buy a great piece of gear for next year? You could store it in your closet or practice your slashing and tearing skills and become some sort of dark avenger. Just don't get carried away, again.

 

These claws will not come out from under your skin and neither will they retract, and the reasons for this are pretty obvious. First of all, you're NOT Wolverine, no matter how hard you try.

 

Then, they're not made from adamantium; finally, your attempts to become a mutant like the X-Men would most likely end up bad, so let's stick to the first one: you're NOT Wolverine. Other than that, these claws, which go by the name of the "Tomahawk Skull Gauntlet," are quite cool: they come with a very cool wrist wrap adorned with a metal skull.

 

While 11.5" long, these claws have been crafted from stainless steel, and that gives them a no-joke destructive potential, especially if sharpened. The wrist strap continues down to your fingers with a skeletal fleshless hand made from metal, making things even scarier; the added weight can though be used for better momentum when exercising the cutting assault moves.

 

The price makes it a both attractive and affordable gadget (can we call these blades a gadget?): $39.99 is not that much if you're planning to become an impersonation of Wolverine as real as possible. Just don't get carried away and keep telling yourself every now and then: "Wolverine good, Freddy Krueger bad!" This might do the trick.

 

We are just a few, but there are many of you, Softpedia users, out there.

U should make some exactly like those, only without the skulls and the bone that goes in front of the fingers. And (if at all possible) they should have retracting blades. That would be awesome! But other than that they r cool!
