Melee: I'm giving this one to the calvary saber. Both are solid weapons, but I'd argue that the saber is much more effective in combat due to its greater length allowing it to keep an opponent at bay and easier for stabbing forward. Even if Jack has a slight edge in swordsmanship, Sharpe has the better sword that gives him a slight edge. EDGE: Richard Sharpe
