The first Razor Fist's hands were both surgically replaced with steel blades which he used as weapons, while the former two Razor Fists initially had only one hand replaced with a steel blade. The last remaining Razor Fist eventually had his other hand replaced by a similar blade as well. Each Razor Fist is highly skilled in multiple forms of combat, with extensive training in hand-to-hand combat and martial arts.
