A bat'leth, or sword or honor, was a traditional Klingon bladed weapon who resembled a crescent-shaped, double-bladed scimitar. A bat'leth was typically approximately 116 centimeters long, with blades of composite baakonite, weighed about 5.3 kilograms, and had an exterior hand grip diameter of 5 centimeters. (DS9: "Blood Oath")
