Description: The kut'luch was a bladed weapon traditionally used by Klingon assassins. The weapon had an unevenly serrated blade and was capable of inflicting a very serious wound. The kut'luch was frequently twisted while the blade was still inside its target to inflict as much pain and damage as possible. The weapon looked similar to a mevak.

A pair of assassins hired by Duras used a kut'luch to attack Kurn in 2366. (TNG: "Sins of the Father")

The kut'luch was also used in a ritual act of violence, signifying when a Klingon became a warrior. (VOY: "Real Life")
