Trivia
This episode was written in an effort to more fully integrate the character of Worf into the Deep Space Nine world. All of the fourth season episodes to that date, with the exception of The Way of the Warrior (1995), had been green-lit prior to the confirmation of Michael Dorn's arrival, and as such, Worf tended to be confined to the B-stories of these episodes, if he even figured in them at all. "The Sword of Kahless" was the first show put together after Worf joined the cast, and as such, the producers felt it should focus on him.

Goofs
When Dax helps Kor up off the floor in his quarters, directional blocking tape can be seen on the floor in the shape of a T.

Quotes
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Kor! I have someone I'd like you to meet.
Kor: Oh?
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: I'd like you to meet our Strategic Operations Officer, Commander Worf.
Kor: Ah, Worf the traitor. The pariah. The lowest of the low!
[long tense pause, then his face turns into a smile]
Kor: It's a pleasure to meet you.

Needed Beefing Up

The Sword of Kahless is the holy grail of the Klingons. Kahless is the godhead of these people and the sword is thought to have magic properties. Kor, Jadzea, and Worf go on a mission to find the sword and return it to the Emperor of the Klingons. But the thing creates serious problems for all of them. It also enlists a group of Klingons who follow the trio and try to take the sword from them. Ultimately, the power is different from what was imagined. There is just too little effort to create a sense of suspense and dread.
