Wagh Nakh
The 'tiger claws' — a concealed fist-load weapon famously used by Shivaji Maharaj against Afzal Khan.
The wagh nakh is a set of curved steel claws worn over the knuckles or concealed in the palm. It entered legend at the meeting at Pratapgad in 1659, where Shivaji Maharaj used it to defend himself against Afzal Khan — a turning point in the rise of Swarajya.
