{"product_id":"klingon-knife-star-trek-d-k-tahg-replica","title":"Klingon Knife – Star Trek D’k Tahg Replica With Leather Sheath","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Klingon knife is a handmade replica of the d'k tahg, the three-bladed Klingon knife from Star Trek. It has a 7.5\" D2 steel main blade, two angled side blades at its base, a wood handle and a 12.5\" overall length. It arrives sharp in a tooled brown leather sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe D'k Tahg in Star Trek\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe d'k tahg first appeared in the 1984 film Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. It didn't get its name until years later. Since then it has become the classic Klingon blade, carried across The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, with Worf among the best-known characters to own one. In Star Trek lore it's the traditional knife of Klingon warriors: a personal piece, often marked with the owner's House and used in rituals as well as everyday carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFans often ask what the Klingon knife is called, and the d'k tahg is the answer for this design. Its signature is the trio of blades, one long main blade with two shorter blades branching off near the guard. That separates it from other Star Trek blades such as the curved bat'leth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBlade, Handle and Sheath\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main blade is a long, straight double-ground blade ending in a sharp, arrow-like point. A full-length slot is cut through its center, which gives the profile a lighter, more striking look. Two smaller side blades flare outward and back from a broad, angular bolster, completing the three-bladed silhouette Star Trek fans recognize at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD2 is a high-chromium tool steel known for holding an edge well and resisting rust better than plain carbon steel. The 5\" wood handle is shaped with evenly spaced grooves for grip and fixed with brass pins, and its warm grain contrasts with the bright steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brown leather sheath has a tooled pattern, contrast stitching, two crossed snap straps and a belt loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the blade clean and dry after handling and add a light coat of oil now and then, since D2 is not fully stainless. Rub a little oil or wood wax into the handle occasionally to keep it from drying out, and store the knife outside the leather sheath for long periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor more blades from the screen, explore our \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/collections\/movie-replica-knives\"\u003emovie replica knives\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse the wider range of \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/collections\/collectible-knives\"\u003ecollectible knives\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unique Blades Runner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67895050338482,"sku":null,"price":222.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/3109\/9570\/files\/Klingon_knife_d_k_tahg_replica_with_three_blades_and_grooved_wood_handle.png?v=1793865248","url":"https:\/\/www.uniquebladesrunner.store\/en-au\/products\/klingon-knife-star-trek-d-k-tahg-replica","provider":"Unique Blades Runner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
