Slash Claw (スラッシュクロー Surasshu Kurō) is Slash Man's special weapon. It allows Mega Man to swing his arm to generate a crescent-shaped beam of energy straight forward. It is a short range weapon, but the slashes are very effective against smaller enemies. Hitting Spring Man with this weapon causes him to fall to pieces and prevents him from using his Wild Coil.
In Mega Man 10, the Weapons Archive uses the Slash Claw when it uploads Slash Man's data file.
