File:Mevak, Sons of Mogh.jpg

A bloody mevak.

The mevak was a traditional Klingon knife used in such rituals as the Mauk-to'Vor. (DS9: "Sons of Mogh")

This blade was also seen in VOY: "Real Life", only in that episode it was called a kut'luch.

John Eaves' sketch of mevak knife

The mevak was designed by illustrator John Eaves. Because the screenplay of "Sons of Mogh" didn't specify any particular design type, Eaves was allowed a free hand in creating the blade, and he ultimately designed it with two separated blades - one for extinguishing the physical life, one for freeing the soul to allow it to travel to Sto-vo-kor. (Deep Space Nine Sketchbook: John Eaves, DS9 Season 4 DVD special features)
