Favorite Hand to Hand Combat Weapon.

[Almalexia]

I agree; the shaft is nice, the head is spectacular but the grip is boring

[Overlord-]

It's sexy but in a combat against a REAL sword, it would suck because the blade isn't much strong and too flexible

It's all about the strenght and how you use your weapon.

You can get A&A to modify those bits though.

Also, Winterz reveals his complete lack of knowledge on anything swordy.

No, I wasn't really wrong, because that spanish sword (discoveries era) is propper for its time. (Useful when in combat against a bunch of bayonet guys and its flexibility/weight allows good mobility)
But that against a medieval good sword has no chance.

The zweihander is very nice in my opinion

In addition to that also the Flamberge

[Almalexia]

Mmm, dat Flamberge.

 

[Majhudeen]

Sure sure, I know this one's a bti of a cheat but I found this one intresting. It's basically like a bayonet except alot more efficient at melee. On the battlefeild it may have been a pain to interswitch though, and not as practical as the trusted bayonet.

What the **** are you on about?

the Flamberge

Good to know: Flamberge ain't actually a weapon, IIRC, but a pattern in the blade. Any wavy sword is a "flamberge".

Here's a sexy court sword with flambard:

 

[Night Ninja]

Goddamn that sword is sexy.

 

[AWdeV]

I like the hat too.

 

[FrisianDude]

I like this one a bit more; it's more elegant and I like the simplicity.

I think you'll find that it depends rather more on whether there's armour, and of what sort, involved - not the sword design, per se.  Against an un-armoured opponent, I'd be putting my money on the fastest blade, not the heaviest.  And Spanish steel was renowned for its quality, was it not?

Mine is the axe.  It will break shields, swords, spears, bone, and horses.  You can throw it. And is great for fighting multiple foes.  I am a big fan of the claymore too.  The claymore is great against mounted solders, and hacking throw someones shield.  The Scandinavian broad sword has a special place in my hart.  And the pole axe is an awesome weapon.  Its big, can chop, poke, hook. What else do you need.

Hands, since I ate yours.

I must say that the NAA22S mini-revolver is the best. It is really small and lethal if shot in the right place. The problem is that it is a .22 so I guess its more of a chipmunk killing gun.

My all time favorite is the longsword:

Not the most efficient weapon perhaps, but it can give a nasty cut as well as thrust in deep.  The pommel can also make a fearsome weapon.  I'm also partial to scimitars, which are great weapons for what they are designed to do (mainly cut, especially off horseback, but not so great vs armor).
