Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman) SFX aluminium claws from Bryan Singer's superhero film X-Men. Wolverine deployed his signature adamantium claws throughout the film, including during flashbacks to the Weapon X tank and when Magneto (Ian McKellen) pulled the claws painfully far out from his hands.

These six aluminium claws were created by production and fitted into prosthetic arms for SFX, high-speed close-ups of Wolverine's blades coming through his skin and impacting objects, but ultimately unused in the final cut. Each claw blade features patterned debossing on the flat sides distinctive to both the train and flashback scenes. They are also uniquely longer than other Wolverine claws from throughout the franchise, with one blade shorter than the others for ejection purposes.

These claws are fastened together using bolts, washers, and hex nuts. Also included is a Certificate of Authenticity from FXSmith Inc. The blades exhibit scuffing from production use. Dimensions (each): 39.5 cm x 11.5 cm x 2.75 cm (15.5" x 4.5" x 2")

Blades were dulled by production.
