Mantis Gauntlet

The  is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Visibly the weapon consists of a severed mantis foreleg, reinforced with metal bars and leather straps and fitted to the wielder's forearm by a medical brace or something similar. A handle on the "blade" allows stability. Unlike the Deathclaw gauntlet from Fallout 3 (which ignored damage resistance), the mantis gauntlet ignores all damage threshold similar to the Cram Opener.

Locations
The mantis gauntlet is sold very rarely by certain weapons vendors, particularly those dealing in very rare items. The NCR Quartermaster at the Hoover Dam and the Great Khans weapons dealer (liked or better reputation required) have been known to occasionally sell the item. It can be bought from Blake at the Crimson Caravan Camp when the player is level 16 or above, and also can be bought from Mick in Freeside.
