That's the fancy title to SkyBox card SP2, but the it's called {tlhIngan 
may' taj} "Klingon battle knife" in the text:

T.N.G. EPISODES SERIES (1st SEASON): CARD SP2


                      SuvwI' taj
                 Blade of the Warrior

The Klingon battle knife is designed primarily for versatility of use, so 
that the user is never caught at a disadvantage.  Two small, secondary 
blades eject from the knife's sides, providing both a hand guard and 
another set of cutting edges.  A brutally spiked pommel fastens the hilt 
together to provide a damaging surprise attack or give a devastating 
backhand stroke.
