The Cat Claws(猫の爪,Neko no Tsume?), also known as Cat Claw ,Cat's Claws and CatCraw, are a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series. It is a weapon for Ninjas and Monks, and is usually a knuckle or claw, though it has also been a dagger. It has been a powerful and a weak weapon depending on the game, but is generally a highly accurate weapon despite its power.
The Cat Claws is the strongest knife in the game, with the highest Accuracy as well. It provides 86 Attack, 80% Accuracy, and 2% Evasion, and can be found in a chest after defeating the Blue Dragon in the Jade Passage.

It has 50 use, it also increases a Robot's HP by 99 and increases their Agl by 22. The damage formula for CatClaw is the user's Agl x13.

In Final Fantasy Origins (and subsequent remakes), the Cat Claws are depicted as a dagger (as in the NES/Famicom games) in Final Fantasy, but a clawed glove (as in future appearances) in Final Fantasy II. The probable reason for this is that Final Fantasy has only a "swinging" animation for weapons, which would not make sense for a glove, while Final Fantasy II has a "thrusting" animation used for spears which also works for the Cat Claws.
