I don’t know much about weapons, but to me, the bat’leth always looked like it was intentionally designed to harm the person wielding it. Like they put it on the wall as a booby trap.
It’s the “Cow Tools” of melee weapons. It might work to an extent, but we’ve had millenia to perfect bladed and spiked weapons, and somehow never arrived at anything close to the bat’leth.
“But hey, at least it’s not a bat’leth!” (entire classroom breaks out in laughter)
If someone attacked me with that, I feel I could defeat them with basically any other weapon…

In fact, Worf doesn’t use it
Well, about that, it turns out the Bat’leth may actually be a half-decent heavy weapon with lots of counterattack options…

True, weapons designed for reach. Bat’leth is much better as a CQ weapon when tight spaces are a problem for long weapons. Of course, knives…

Bat’leth saber for the real tryhards out there
EDIT: I guess it would actually be called a light bat’leth
