If you're in Toronto and want to own your very own screen-used Pon Farr gong or the USS Titan's conference room table, now is your chance! Imagine having the conference room table for just $25😂

You can own whole bridge panels too!

Until today I had no idea that when Michael Dorn was signed onto the cast of DS9 he sought out VFX supervisor Dan Curry who had designed the bat'leth and asked for a new type of weapon that Worf could wield. (x) Curry showed Dorn a Nepali sword, altered the area around the handle to have more of a Klingon look and the mek'leth was born.

Even though in terms of series timeline it didn't exist until DS9, its existence is mentioned in Enterprise. And given that we really don't see much use of it even in DS9 other than Worf, I have a head canon. While studying in the Klingon monastery on Boreth following the destruction of the Enterprise D, Worf met a master bat'leth maker who was also spending time at the monastery. And it's from this weapons maker that Worf learned about the mek'leth whose use by Klingon warriors had disappeared by the time of TNG. Worf was intrigued by the description and asked the weapon master to make a mek'leth for him.
