I was wondering if there is anyone on the board who has made a shredder hand claw? I dont mean the forearm gauntlets I am talking about the actual claw. I have looked many times on the net but they always have wolverine claws with three blades, Shredders claw had two blades. There are a few pictures of the hand claw from the 2003 cartoon but I have never seen a replica of his weapon made, and I would be interested in getting one.

shpuld be no problem for anyone who knows to work with metal... But this is uninteresting for me, only if I would work on a full costume. Im not the biggest fan of unique costume parts...
But after all, Im always interested in parts from the turtles movies...

My Shredder claw was very simple. I used a clipboard for the material. There are two sections, an upper U shaped piece above my knuckles and a lower, but longer U shaped piece in the palm of my hand. Heat from a blow dryer molds the clipboard into a U. Hot glue connects the upper outer blades to the lower inner blades. Add silver paint and you have Shredder's weapon that is safe for conventions.

I made one out of stainless, but it was a hand/forearm piece all together. I did the old 90s cartoon version, where the two hand claws are shorter. They were attached to the forearm guards/blades via a grey leather strap. Nifty little pieces, very dangerous in crowds

Sure don't.. wish I did though, it looked cool. I want to another one to wear at a con someday, but who knows when that will be, I'll switch it over to aluminum as well for the con.
