Lets see shall we

Sidearm

I really don't see either of these weapons playing much of a part in the overall outcome of the battle as they're unlikely to be used unless the user is weaponless and & shieldless but for the sake of comparison the Seax wins out due to it's larger size and greater thrusting power which will make the difference in a knife fight.

Edge: Hersir

Primary Weapon

Both of these weapons are well suited to the role they need to play. The Viking Sword is what you'd expect a Nordic demon to use with it's great length, heavy weight and emphasis on slashing. The Gladius is shorter but much more mobile and works very well in combination with the Scutum especially in their Turtle Formation. It's a really tough call but in the end I'm going to side with the Viking Sword for two reasons. One is the previously mentioned reach advantage and secondly, from what I've read the Scutum was weaker against heavy hacking weapons which will make the Viking's sword that bit more effective.
