Tegaki, (手鉤 lit. "hand hooks"), were a kind of kakushi buki (隠し武器; lit. "hidden weapon") deployed by the ninja of Japan.

Tegaki are claws use to climb up sheer wall surfaces such as brick, stone, concrete, and wood. They first appeared in the first Turtles comic. They're sturdy and strong, but are not designed to hold up as weapons.
