You have stained my honor; how dare you sir.

Short Range: The East. Yeah, I'm going to have to say this isn't too much of a contest. Wakizashi has both a longer blade, and the ability to be used skillfully as an off-hand blade by a duel-wielder. As also stated, it can be thrown in a pinch. That gives it two extra uses that a knife like Jackson's can't be used for... Okay, I guess theoretically you can throw Jackson's knife. I just don't think Jackson could throw it very well, even as a frontiersman.

Mid Range: Tie. I'm actually going to tie this.The sword from 1812 is a longer weapon, and Jackson's tendency to try and be sneaky with it works in his favore. However, what ties this edge is Musashi's ability to duel wield this weapon with the Wakizashi from the above edge. That and a more acrobatic fighting style tie this edge up in a neat little bow.

Long Range: West. This edge is close. The chance of a misfire and the inability to reload during a heated brawl narrows this edge; unlike the shurikens of which there are multiple versions and multiple carried. However, unlike a shuriken, it'll only take the one shot to probably down the Duelist. A shuriken into the skull probably won't be instantly downing like a shot will be; though no doubt it'll be fatal or downing.

Special: East. I'm also going to go with the bokken as a slightly more efficient bludgeoning weapon with it's extra length. The Walking Stick has only one point on it with which it'll do any major damage. The Bokken could theoretically do the same damage among any of it's length.

Deadliest Warrior: TBD
