You get what you pay for
Although it's hinted at in picture and description, the claws on these overly-small motorcycle style gloves are NOT metal, but a somewhat flimsy plastic. The cuticles of the plastic nail extend down past the first knuckle and are sharp, but the plastic nails are glued too close to the tip of the finger, giving absolutely no structure to the claws and making them absolutely flimsy and floppy, in no way suited to scratching anything. When pressure is applied with the thought of scratching an itch, or someone's arm, or even a dollar scratcher ticket, the tip of the gloved finger and the nails flip upward and backward, rendering the claws useless.
To make the product look more like the picture and to restore functionality to the gloves, I peeled the plastic nails off of the gloves; not a difficult task since some of them were barely glued on. I then used the included emery board segment to file down the laughably long and pointy cuticles of the fake nails and to touch up and reshape the shape and sharpness of the tips of the claws. I then used a hot glue gun to reattach the altered nails, trying on the gloves first and marking where the nails were to go so that they would be supported by the tip of the gloved finger and the nail bed beneath that. When I gave the completed set of clawlicious gloves to my pet girlfriend, she was over the moon about her new toy.
All in all, not a total loss, but not worth the money I spent on it. If I weren't a crafty person, this would have been a pointless buy.
