Like his brother, Worf also kept two crossed yans in his quarters aboard the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Reunion", "Night Terrors")

During his exercise program on the holodeck, Worf and K'Ehleyr used a pair of yans to defeat computer-generated opponents. (TNG: "The Emissary")

Duras utilized a yan in his duel with Worf in 2367. He was killed by Worf and his bat'leth. (TNG: "Reunion")

Governor Vagh of Krios also had two crossed yans on display in his office. (TNG: "The Mind's Eye")
