| Fingertip (Sonkut) |
| This is a special tool found only in taekwondo. The usage of it varies according to the target. The form of the hand is just the same as that of a knife-hand as far as straight, flat and upset fingertips are concerned. The fingertips are the parts used and a great emphasis is placed on evenly aligning the three fingertips - forefinger, middle finger and ring finger.
|
| Flat fingertip (Opun sonkut) |
| The palm is faced downward at the moment of impact. It is chiefly used for attacking the ribs, eyes and occasionally the abdomen.

| Straight fingertip (Sun sonkut) |

|
 |
| Upset fingertip (Dwijibun sonkut) |
| The palm faces upward at the moment of impact. It is mainly used for attacking the public region floating ribs and lower abdomen, though occasionally the armpit.
