Its everything you'd expect from the pictures, the claw looks very cool, And the wall mountable plaque makes for a interesting display piece. I did have two issues with the claw I received.

1. The Claw doesn't hang properly on the plaque,this problem bugged me the most. The Plaque has two hooks that hold the claw in place when it is hanging on the wall, Unfortunately the holes for the hooks weren't drilled properly on mine so the claw hangs to the left slightly and not straight down. Not that hard to fix though I just drilled a new hole and filled in the other with a black filler.

2. The Blades on the claw aren't all aligned evenly, the middle claw is slightly lower than the other two blades. Its barely noticeable and didn't ruin the claw for me. Even if all the X-Claws are like this I'd still recommend it, I seriously doubt most people would notice or even care.

1 and 2. Both of these from what I can tell are quality control issues, I doubt all the X-claws have these problems. But if you want to avoid them you'd have to buy it in person and inspect it before you buy it.

Now for my personal recommendations if your going to buy this. The Claw comes sharpened so be extremely careful, its not razor sharp but you should still use the same caution you'd use with any blades. Just holding it in your hand and you can feel the blunt ends of the blades press into the fleshy area between your knuckles. If your going to actually try to wield it you should wrap or tape up your hand with special attention to the areas between your knuckles. Seriously though this is obviously a novelty item and not meant for combat of any kind. If you get one make sure its just for display, and put it somewhere out of reach from children.

Overall I'd say it was worth the money 4 stars

Made of good heavy material. You have to be careful not to hurt your knuckles. 4 stars

I ordered two and they look cool, just like the picture but the craftsmanship could've been better. All 3 claws are not aligned perfectly, they are off just a bit. Maybe a little nit picky but not bad for the price i guess. ps i only give 5 stars if its a steal and they werent on sale. :] 3 stars

though i agree with the obvious flaws of the claws not being actually used to stab anything without damaging your hands. there is one alternitive tape your hands like boxers do then put on a pair of fingerless gloves put on the claws and go nuts. i find it really reduces the damage on your hands and the gloves add extra padding. No killing spree's tho..... please get help it those are your first thoughts 5 stars

In my ever humble opinion, the claws sit wrong when held. They curve out from your hand, instead of straight out like I think they should. Also the part where its made to look like the claws are actually coming out of your hand bites into the meat between your knuckles; making them painful to hold for longer then 2 minuets. Great for a Wolverine costume though, as most people that will see it wont know the difference. I strongly suggest finding a pair of gloves that look decent with them to minimize hand irritation. 3 stars
