Given that the Gloves apply to melee touch attacks, weapons and unarmed strikes, I don't see any logical reason they would not apply to Claw Attacks. Then again, some rules are not meant to be logical, but to bring balance.
I did some digging and found this thread about considering Natural Weapons wielded weapons. To be honest, there seems to be a lot of variance in opinion, so I don't know what to think.
Later I was pointed out that both the Deliquescent Gloves and the Poisoner's Gloves have a similar wording but do specify they can be used with Natural Weapons. Therefore, given this precedent, the Demonic Smith's Gloves may not apply to Natural Attacks.
...If the wearer uses that hand to wield a weapon or make an attack with an unarmed strike or natural weapon, that attack gains the corrosive weapon special ability.
Finally, I noticed both the Deliquescent Gloves and the Poisoner's Gloves appear in Ultimate Equipment, whereas the Demonic Smith's Gloves appear in Inner Sea Combat, and maybe that's why the wording is slightly different, but the intention may be the same.
But that's a bit of a stretch, whats your take on this?
