STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER (1989) - Michael and Denise Okuda Collection: Klingon D'k Tahg Knife in Sheath - A Klingon D'k Tahg knife in its sheath from William Shatner's Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Klingons serving under Captain Klaa (Todd Bryant) and General Korrd (Charles Cooper) carried their signature knives while following the Enterprise.

First conceived for Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, the D'k Tahg underwent various design updates across multiple appearances in the Star Trek franchise, and received its canonical name in Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Birthright, Part II."

This lot comes from the collection of celebrated Star Trek franchise artists and advisors Michael and Denise Okuda, who received it as a gift from renowned model-maker Greg Jein. This static knife-in-a-sheath is composed of foam painted black and burnt orange. It features a notable spiked pommel. The back of the weapon has two brass brads inserted in the sheath and grip. This lot exhibits chipping, pitting, cracks, discoloration, and a buildup of grime. Dimensions: 13" x 3" x 2" (33 cm x 7.75 cm x 5 cm)Though their long and celebrated careers in the Star Trek world began in features, Michael and Denise Okuda established themselves as franchise legends while working on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Michael became art supervisor on TNG, while Denise came on as a scenic artist during Deep Space Nine, roles they would continue to perform through Voyager, Enterprise, and the Next Generation films. Married in 1993, the Okudas are known as the driving forces behind the development of many of the now-iconic 24th-century technologies seen throughout the series, including the famous "Okudagrams" they created for the LCARS (Library Computer Access and Retrieval System) interfaces . Propstore is proud to present a selection of key memorabilia from the personal collection of one of the franchise's most important creative teams to the public for the first time.
