Claw Blades: These subtle blades can only be used by catfolk with the cat's claws racial trait. Bought in a set of five, they fit over the wearer's claws on one hand. The blades grant the wearer a +1 enhancement bonus on claw attack rolls with that hand and change the weapon type from a natural weapon to a light slashing weapon. Catfolk with the cat's claws racial trait are proficient with this weapon. The claw blades can be enhanced like a masterwork weapon for the normal costs. The listed cost of the item is for one set of five claws for one hand.
I know that as a GM myself I could allow it, but realistically, would claw blades work with other creatures other than catfolks?
It's a set of claws that converts natural claw attacks into iterative light slashing attacks... and catfolks aren't the only creatures with claw attacks, even as an alternate racial trait. Humanoid half-dragons and half-fiends could wear these, weretigers and werebears could wear these, Ursine Wildsoul vigilantes could wear these, babaus, hezrous, nabasus, succubi and other demons could wear these, gargoyles could wear these, etc.
See what I mean? It doesn't seem like a game-breaking rule to allow other creatures to wear and utilize claw blades.
I'd say Skinwalkers are ok with them. I think the one in my group actually has them, but I might be wrong. Druids, or anyone that gets any sort of claw attacks in alternate forms, should also be ok.
I honestly don't see why not. There's a trade-off for using claw blades
