latlh De'/Additional Information

Though sometimes difficult to discern, it would appear that Klingons do have a sense of fair play. Worf quoted this aphorism to his son, Alexander, who had just bullied a group of children. Though phrased in presumably military terms, the ethic expressed by the saying runs throughout Klingon society.

You stood there, you attack
Like a krencha*, short and fierce,
Avoiding long and dangerous battle.
Type: sentence - Source: paq'batlh: Force Book
Sleep well, for it will be your last night,
Put on your finest armor,
For there is no honor in attacking the weak.

The Klingon battle knife is designed primarily for versatility of use, so that the user is never caught at a disadvantage. Two small, secondary blades eject from the knife's sides, providing both a hand guard and another set of cutting edges. A brutally spiked pommel fastens the hilt together to provide a damaging surprise attack or give a devastating backhand stroke.
