BTW, what's a devil's claw ?

Gratefully,

Different people may use different terminology for this. In essence,
it's a chain stopper (the term which may also vary, i.e., some will say
a Chain stopper is used as a stopper for wire or wire rope).
In my world, a "devil's claw" is a double hooked chain stopper which is
used to firmly secure an anchor and anchor chain, for sea, in addition
to a "riding pawl".
