From the Humane Society:

The razor-sharp steel blades or "gaffs" (which resemble 3-inch-long, curved ice picks) tied to the birds' legs are so sharp and dangerous that cockfighters themselves have been killed when accidentally slashed by their own birds.

Sorry but I feel the cockfighters themselves deserve to die!!
What's wrong with men in some cultures loving gruesome, violent bloodsport? 😡

Sports is one thing but this is sick.

What I remember was a long spike or spur that they attached to the rooster.

That was here in the US decades ago, but they could attach a blade of some kind as well I suppose.
