Hello.

"Batleff" is a misspelling of "Bat'leth" (or "Bat-leth" or "Batleth")
which is a type of sword used by Klingons, characters from "Star Trek"
(the famous science fiction TV/movie series).

The term "batleff collection" appears in a tongue-in-cheek discussion
about a Klingon computer programming language, on slashdot.org (the
term bat-leth also appears on the same page):
http://slashdot.org/developers/02/02/04/0229240.shtml

A bat'leth collection would be a set of bat'leths.  

Although the slashdot post about a "collection" was probably intended
as a joke, many Star Trek fans actually do have replicas of these
weapons.
