The longer the weapon in question, the slower you will be able to turn/use it. Hence, a higher chance it can be taken from you.
A club/blade under 30 inches is your best bet. A pair of 30 inch blades would be good. A 30 inch blade with a hand-held, actual warhammer (a real one, not something like Thor's hammer) would probably be best. |

Hand and a half sword of some sort. It'll give you reach, leverage, cleaving power, cutting ability, and stabbing ability. Different designs excel at different things, but I settled on The Baron.
 Even something like a Gladius would ruin anybody's day though. I'll get an Albion Gladius one day too. Quote HistoryQuoted: Halberd. Hook em, hack em, stab em.  Not saying they aren't useful, but they were primarily designed to fight very well armored opponents to pierce and cave in plate armor. With that in mind, I'm not sure they are the best choice for unarmored opponents. |

Partisans, except for the early ones, are a bit clumsy compared to other options. Bec de corbin is an excellent choice for any scenario. They are only about six feet tall, at most, usually. Some are only four feet. There's one for auction in Germany later this month. I don't understand why you don't think Polearms qualify in this thread. I read this as basically non-projectile weapons. |

Very close quarters? A trench knife. If you ever hold one and think about it for a bit, you'll understand.
But as someone else already said, trench knife and trench club is ideal. You can do absolutely insane damage if you're reasonably fit and quick. |
