The Sword of Trekkies
Go to any garden variety Star Trek Convention and chances are you’re going to find someone dressed as a Klingon warrior. He’ll be wearing the armor and even some prosthetics on his forehead to give him that distinctive Klingon head-ridge look featured from the first Star Trek film to the present day productions. He might even have that distinctive tri-bladed knife. What he probably won’t have is an authentic bat’leth. A bat’leth is a two-handed outward curved sword that’s held in the middle of the weapon instead of at one end, and meant to be whirled about offering more of a defensive posture to one’s opponent, giving him fewer opportunities to get in a good strike. There are many reproductions of this iconic Klingon weapon, but how many Trekkies could say that what they’re wielding is actually the Sword of Kahless. In Star Trek, Kahless is the spiritual leader of the Klingon Empire who puts the Klingons on the path of Honor and courage that epitomizes their culture. If you love Star Trek and love to show your appreciation for the series in your own way, then having the Bat’leth Star Trek Sword of Kahless is an absolute must. In fact, this weapon might be so authentic that it might be tough getting it past security. Made of stainless steel, and sharp as other swords, and wrapped in genuine black leather, this weapon is sure to delight any Trekkie who will know it the instant he sees it. A must for anyone who collects fantasy swords and other memorabilia.
