Claws are a type of two-handed melee weapon that are members-only. They can be obtained by either making them with the Smithing skill, trading with other players or as a monster drop. Most types of claws can be smithed (apart from black, white and dragon claws) but to create them the player must have completed the Death Plateau quest. The more powerful claws (adamantite and above) can only be obtained via Smithing or trading, making them potentially expensive to buy from other players. This category of weapons also contains one of the only Rune weapons to have a special attack, the other being the rune throwing axe.

Claws are the fastest two-handed weapon type in the game, tied with spears, having an attack speed of 4 game ticks. In addition, claws have good accuracy bonuses for both stab and slash, and they are one of the few two-handed weapon types to offer defensive bonuses, particularly against slashing attacks. However, they have lower attack and strength bonuses than scimitars and spears.

Players cannot wear claws whilst having a crab claw equipped; attempting to do so results in the chatbox stating "You need to remove your claw first."
