I note that no one complained when I mention Shuko the catgirl having to use her claws on pushy jerks once in a while - I also note that the nmae means "climbing claws" and the concept of the nekomimi body I gave her comes directly from how to put claws as versatile, articulated, and strong as a cat's on a human when human fingers arre so delicate, specifically so that they can support the owner's weight even hanging inverted with finger and toe claws dug into a suitably sturdy base.
Wolvers, now, I can see your point - not much utility except weapons there. Toughened nails on toughened fingers, or second-knuckle claws like I came up with, even claws that extend from the palm side between the knuckles, all have validity as climbing aids. Given the general popularity of catgirls on one end of the possum and the fact that zero-gee evironments where you DO NOT want to lose your grip and go floating away on the other, I think there's plenty of leeway in the flat, squishy bit between.
