There is no art of one that I know of other than in the weapons section. You cannot wield any other weapon while wearing a Dejada on your hand. Removing it would be like removing a gauntlet, wrist razors, or some other weapon over your hand/arm. Edit: Myztek found the implement I was originally looking for.  Lacrosse was the next closest thing I could think of.
