Lets see shall we

Short Range

The Hunting Sword is the more versatile weapon here due to it's slashing and thrusting capabilities. The Kilij is more powerful yes but is restricted to a slashing motion and this makes it easier to defend against.

Edge: Blackbeard

Mid Range

The Boarding Pike is a clumsy weapon to try and use in a battle and it's only use is in a defensive formation of sorts, one on one it's usage is just too limited. The Halberd is the ultimate multi-purpose polearm with it's axe, spear and bludgeoning head which makes it suitable for a much wider variety of situations.

Edge: Michael the Brave
