A bagh nakh (alt. Bag'hnak, Nahar-nuk, Waghnakh, Wagnuk, Wahar-nuk
Hindi for "
tiger claw") is an
Indian hand-to-hand weapon designed to fit over the knuckles or concealed under and against the palm. Usually made of
metal, it traditionally consists of four or five curved blades affixed to a crossbar or glove, and is designed to slash through skin and muscle, mimicking wounds inflicted by a wild animal. The bagh nakh is similar to
brass knuckles or
neko-te.
