The sharp claws of the eagle (or any bird of prey) are called talons. The word comes from the Old French word talonwhich means "heel" which was then adapted into Middle English word talon which was used to mean any heelike part or object and has since evolved to its current usage.
An eagles claw is called a talon and it uses them to mostly crush its prey. :D
