A long knife

This long knife was a used by Klingon warriors.

Worf used his to fight Jem'Hadar soldiers on Vandros IV. (DS9: "To the Death")

In his duel with Gowron in 2373, Worf fought with such a weapon. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")

The weapon was never named on-screen. In both cases, the script of the episodes feature Worf fighting with his mek'leth. It is unknown why mek'leths weren't used as suggested in the scripts.
Non-canon sources are calling it a tajtiq. This word may be derived from the Klingon words taj ("knife") and tIq ("long"), as defined in The Klingon Dictionary by Marc Okrand. In Klingon for the Galactic Traveler, Okrand explains the word tajtIq as "a knife with a particularly long blade that is used almost as though it were a sword".
