  • A bagh nakh is an Indian hand-to-hand weapon designed to fit over the knuckles or concealed under and against the palm. 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. The weapon was developed in India, primarily for self-defence, though there are conflicting reports of the time period in which they appeared. The first well-known usage of the weapon was by the first Maratha Emperor Shivaji. He used a variation of the bagh nakh to kill Afzal Khan, a Bijapur Sardar.
  • Die Baghnakh ist eine mittelalterliche Hiebwaffe aus Indien.
  • Il Bagh Nakh (o Bag'hnak, Nahar-nuk, Waghnakh, Wagnuk, Wahar-nuk termine Indù per "artigli di tigre" बाघ नख)è un'arma bianca indiana. Quest' arma è ideata per essere portata sopra le nocche o nascosta nel palmo, come un tirapugni o un Neko-Te (tirapugni a spunzoni giapponese), ma a differenza di questi, è solitamente formato da cinque o sei sbarrette di metallo, generalmente acciaio, attaccate ad una sbarra o guanto, ed è stata progettata per simulare un attacco da parte di un animale selvatico, ed allo stesso momento creare gravi danni a pelle e tessuto muscolare L'arma fu sviluppata in India, principalmente per l'autodifesa, ma non è certo quando fu progettata. Il primo utilizzo certo è da parte del primo imperatore Maratha, Shivaji . Usò una variante (Bich'hwa bag'hnak, come in foto, con lama a doppia curva) per uccidere il generale Afzal Khan, un Sardar di Bijapur.
