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.

Attack by unknown enemy leaves you vulnerable and weak.

Like a krencha*, short and fierce,
Avoiding long and dangerous battle.

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.
