Let's see shall we

Dagger 

The Tanto is slightly better due to it's greater versatility but this won't make any difference to the battle as the chances of either one using what are basically last resort weapons are slim.

Edge: Even 

Swords

I'm combing this two into one category since they are both basically the same weapon but with one just being longer. I've personally always preferred the European swords because of their greater versatility and crossguard for better protection in a swordfight and while the Katana and Odachi can be used to stab that wasn't what their primary purpose was, nor how they were primarily used by Samurai. Both's warriors armour do a good job of protecting against the others swords so it comes down to which weapon is better for a prolonged fight and as Dargoo points out below, the Arming Sword/Long Sword was made for this purpose so obviously will serve it better.

Edge: Knight

Polearm 

The Lance finishes dead last in this comparison. Lances were made to be used in large scale battles where it could wreak havoc on clustered groups of enemies, not a a small squad battle where it's easier to avoid the charge. That leave us with the Halberd and the Naginata and again I'm siding with the more versatile weapon in the Halberd which has more was to inflict damage than the Naginata.

Edge: Knight
