[edit] Needs attention (incomplete, inaccurate)

This list needs a short explanation (introductory paragraph). Also, several of the linked articles contain the phrase "The weapons were never named on-screen". Should these non-canon article titles really be kept, or wouldn't it be better to combine this information on one page such as "Various Klingon melee weapons". -- Cid Highwind 20:36, 2005 Jan 19 (CET)

• Only 6 of these weapons have actually been named on-screen, however, I think the names should stay. It might be an idea to combine all the information onto one page, but this would involve extensive changing of every page that already has a reference to one of these weapons. zsingaya 20:57, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

• • OK, I checked all the knives. No need to talk about the bat'leth, mek'leth and d'k tahg. The mevak, qis, tajtiq and yan were really seen like that in the episodes that were quoted on the article pages, so I added actual screenshots from the episodes.

Here the trouble starts:

- ChuHwI': Kurn is seen wielding a knife when he boards DS9, but that knife looks completely different.

- kut'luch: In two episodes, this knife is seen. In [{e|Real Life}}, they re-used the mevak as already stated, but also in "Sins of the Father" the kut'luch looks completely different from the way it is depicted on the page. The knife, that is shown here did appear in Star Trek however, but not as a kut'luch or the knife of an assassin, but as the knife that Worf uses in an attempt to kill himself in "Night Terrors" and that he wants Alexander to kill him with as part of the Hegh'bat ceremony in "Ethics".

- QhonDoq: The two assassins in "Sins of the Father" use two different knives in their attempt on Picard's life, none of them looks at all like the knife depicted on this page.

There are some other Klingon knives, daggers etc. that are seen in episodes and that never got a name. I think, I'll just upload pics of those knives on this page under "Unnamed Klingon blade weapons". Watcha think? --Jörg 22:12, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

- I was wondering, why is there no reference here to the tik'leth used by Duras in "Reunion"? -151.204.73.192 08:09, 13 Dec 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bat'leth-like weapon

theese weapon its not only seen in Kurns office. its also seen in worfs quarters like the "Worf's trophy weapon". look here [1] and here [2]. this is also re-used for Hirogen ships--Shisma 18:16, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Killing Gowron

What blade did Worf use to kill Gowron? Watching the episode, it looks like a mech'leth – 205.237.164.127 05:49, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

He uses the broken tips of a bat'leth after his bat'leth is broken into pieces during the fight. --Jörg 13:57, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent updates

Would someone mind explaining the sources for the bladed weapons that were previously unnamed (including the change in spelling) and why they are listed under the "named" section rather than their own pages? As it stands, this page is all screwed up. --Alan

Ah, part of it's my fault. I didn't realize that the named ones were only just recently (today) named. I thought they were just in the wrong section so I moved them out of the Un-named section. Maybe the whole page should be rolled back to this version until sources are provided. --TribbleFurSuit 02:56, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

This discussion has now expanded to here. --Alan 03:13, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
