As far as real-world gamer weapons go, the replica FFXIV Bagh Nakhs are one of the most badass I have ever seen. Created by Blind Squirrel of Blind Squirrel Props, the replica FFXIV Bagh Nakhs are a real-world version of the tiger claws used by the pugilist class in Square-Enix's MMORPG Final Fantasy 14.
As a former player of Final Fantasy 11 (Square-Enix's first MMORPG), I found myself instantly enamored with these replica FFXIV Bagh Nakhs. The level of detail is excellent, and the Bagh Nakhs actually look deadly despite being made out of wood. There has been a growing trend recently of modders and crafters taking it upon themselves to create their own real-world gamer weaponry. It may only be a matter of time before gamers see the first weapon store open up that caters specifically to video game weapon replicas. I am willing to bet that these bad boys give plus 10 attack at least.
