El Alamein's Edges:

 Melee: Kris vs. Blackhawk Tatang Knife:  The Kris looks intimidating with its wavy blade right off the bat, but those curves serve a function - the waves sever more blood vessels as they enter the victim's body, allowing them to bleed more easily. Makarov's knife appears to have a serrated edge, which allows for a slightly more lethal slash. However, I'm giving the edge to Red Hood here - not only does his weapon pack the bigger punch with its super deadly design, but it's being wielded in the hands of a more skilled warrior. I mean, Red Hood takes the edges in training, weapons proficiency, and combat experience. If Vladimir Makarov attempts to close the distance and take on his opponent mano a mano, it's a death sentence for the Russian terrorist.

Edge: Red Hood

 Close Range: Desert Eagle vs. FN Five Seven:  I mean, yeah, Red Hood is a better marksman than Vladimir Makarov, but I'm not sure if he's such an awesome shot that it justifies giving him the edge with such an unwieldly weapon like the Desert Eagle. The FN Five Seven has a standard box magazine that holds 20 rounds, which is much more than the Desert Eagle's 9-round max magazine capacity. I know that the Five-Seven's small 5.7mm bullet is way smaller than whatever Red Hood chooses to load in his magazine for the DEagle, but its greater magazine size and ease of use more than makes up for that.

Edge: Vladimir Makarov
