Gaffs for Gamefowl: Understanding Their Use in Traditional Cockfighting

Gaffs for gamefowl are sharp blades traditionally attached to gamecocks’ legs in cockfighting. While controversial, they remain part of cultural practices in some regions.

Types of Gaffs:

  • Straight Gaffs – Curved, 2-3 inch blades for precision strikes
  • Slashers – Wider cutting edges for deeper wounds
  • Hooked Gaffs – Designed to latch onto opponents

Modern Regulations:

  • Banned in most countries (including the US and UK)
  • Restricted use in the Philippines (PAGCOR-regulated derbies only)
  • Ethical alternatives: Blunt plastic spurs for training

⚠️ Important Note:
Many jurisdictions now promote virtual cockfighting and esports betting as legal alternatives.
