Let's see shall we

Melee

I'd normally give the edge to a sword over an axe due to the superior killing surface and in this case the Wakizashi also has the slight reach advantage. However the Ice Axe comes with several options to combat use with the pick, hammer and handle spike and can be used as a climbing tool, either for Lara to ambush Kiriyama or just to get away and regain her bearings if things aren't going well. Still as neither strike me as being particularly skilled melee fighters the Wakizashi is the simpler and superior weapon for an untrained fighter to use so I'm going to call it even.

Edge: Even 

Pistol

The Beretta is the superior option here. It has a larger magazine capacity and the higher muzzle velocity but more importantly is not being wielded by a psychopath with no firearm training whose likely to waste his fewer bullets.

Edge: Lara Croft
