This will keep happening until Amazon starts cracking down on cheap Ferengi knock-offs with fake reviews.

Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
Hot take: Batleths are bad weapons. Probably introduced as a form of handicapping.
Shadiversity's take on Batleths which surely wont cause any controversy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsElSDXPgSA
Could also be that Klingon muscles are different from ours, they have a whole bunch of redundant organs after all, and the Batleth is designed to take advantage of their unique strengths
That is a excellent point, I hadn't thought of that, I just assumed all humanoids are about the same, but your totally right
Physics does not work that way, you insolent fool!
Regardless of Klingon muscles, the fact that the blade sticks out sideways from the handle creates a lever arm that tends to make it droop due to gravity whenever it's held horizontally. Even if Klingon hands are different, they're not that different that it's somehow advantageous to keep torquing upwards so the blade points at the opponent instead of the floor.
All the extra pointy bits could be good for puncturing multiple organs at once
They look so scifi though
I rest my case, your honor.
Even worf seems to agree, by Picard s3 he has a sort of batleth / katana hybrid instead of a classic one. Though I think he already said in DS9 that he actually prefers the mekleth.
It’s a Mek’leth (modified in PIC S03), which he has stated before is his preferred weapon. He even uses it in The First Battle of Deep Space Nine to defend against the attempted Klingon invasion.
It's worth noting, too, that Worf is an in-universe badass even by Klingon standards. He easily takes out Duras. He won a major Bat'leth tournament in Parallels. He beats Gowron to the floor in Apocalypse Rising. Later in the Dominion War, he takes on every single Jem'hadar in a prison and beats them all, which Mar'tok can't help but be impressed by. Late in the war, he beats and kills Gowron easily.
If Worf says the Mek'leth is better, then we should take his word for it.
Also, Gowron is a chump ass bitch and I'm tired of pretending he's not.
I don’t recall Worf ever saying that the Mek’leth is better, simply that he personally prefers it.
You are correct, however, on all of the points, except for the fact that he didn’t quite beat Gawron so easily. 
Is there any canon on the origin of the batleth?
Like, it's a fake weapon, badly designed, intended to look cool. But in universe, what's the history?
There's multiple ways to give a canon reason a badly designed weapon is such a cultural icon. Maybe it's based on the horns of a predator, or something like that, as an example.
I'm not a deep delver into such things, but I wonder if there's an official history behind it.
I feel like there must have been a scene between Worf and his son where he explains it.
Probably, though the scene that came to mind for me was from the DS9 episode where Worf, Kor, and Dax find the sword of Kahless.
This sharpener has no honour!
Made by some p'tahk no doubt.
What about Valyrian steel?
