Changes: Mek'leth

Revision as of 20:59, 4 July 2015

A mek'leth

A mek'leth was a Klingon sword-like blade weapon, approximately half as long as a bat'leth, typically used to slash the throat or disembowel.. Worf occasionally favored the smaller (and easily concealable) mek'leth instead of the larger, bulkier bat'leth. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior", "Sons of Mogh"; ENT: "Marauders"; Star Trek: First Contact)

Jadzia Dax thought that although the mek'leth was better in some ways, she still preferred the longer reach of the bat'leth. She later practiced with a mek'leth. (DS9: "Sons of Mogh", "Rules of Engagement", "Bar Association")

By the 2370s on Gaia, Brota had inherited Worf's mek'leth. He once used it to kill a yar-bear. (DS9: "Children of Time")

The mirror universe Bareil Antos claimed that he once stole a mek'leth from a Klingon and used it to deactivate the sensor alarm of the cell he was being held in. (DS9: "Resurrection")

Worf often used his mek'leth to fight the Jem'Hadar, such as those on Vandros IV and on Soukara. (DS9: "To the Death", "Change of Heart")

Worf concealed his mek'leth on his EV suit during a spacewalk on the hull of the USS Enterprise-E, tucked into the suit's belt at the small of his back while in orbit around mid-21st century Earth. He used it to kill one of the Borg drones that had been building an interplexing beacon on the ship's deflector dish. (Star Trek: First Contact)

Background information

Dan Curry created the mek'leth at Michael Dorn's request when he joined Deep Space Nine in 1995. Dorn wanted a weapon that was easier to wield. The final design was based on a Himalayan blade, a Northern Tibetan cavalry sword. However, the ergonomics of the weapon were specifically designed for Dorn's mass and hand size.
