The 21-inch-long prop is hard rubber painted silver with an imitation brown leather handle.
Used by Worf in the feature film Star Trek VIII: First Contact, which opened on November 22, 1996. A mek'leth was a traditional Klingon bladed weapon. While Klingons often carried disruptors, they preferred to use bladed weapons in combat, with the two most common ones being the mek'leth and the bat'leth. Worf concealed his mek'leth on his EV suit during a spacewalk on the hull of the Enterprise, tucked into the suit's belt at the small of his back while in orbit around mid-21st century Earth. He used it to kill one of several Borg drones that had been building an interplexing beacon on the ship's deflector dish. The 21-inch-long prop is hard rubber painted silver with an imitation brown leather handle. Profiles in History: The Dreier Collection Part 1 Lot 225, Saturday, July 28, 2012.
