I mean, they'yre not the Venka Prime, but I'm pretty sure they're just plain better than any other non-exalted claw weapon since they still have better base damage, high status chance, and at least twice as much reach as anything else in the category.

The real problem is that all claws kinda suck compared to other options unless you need the Venka Prime's enhanced combo counter for boosting Landslide or Whipclaw. Most other categories have them beat for reach and swing width, and have at least one weapon in the category that can be built hybrid instead of specializing in either crit or status. Meanwhile, other extreme close range weapons like Sparring, Daggers, and certain Fists builds are so much better at obliterating a single target that the extra inches of range claws have don't even matter.
