Nothing beats a good old fashioned English claymore
>>64760123knife -> sword -> polearm -> spear -> pike
>>64760137Holy shit thats literally a fire lance
>>64760123Smatchet.
>>64760158He said back up, a long ass spear isn't going to be something you can just carry on your belt when you have a rifle in your hands.All that being said I think>>64760164Is right. You just want a big ass knife.
>>64760123A machete. It's extremely durable, it's useful for clearing brush (which you're likely going to be doing 100x more often than actually fighting someone in melee combat), and if you do need to engage in melee, it's got a reach advantage over a normal combat knife.
>>64760293>you have a knife >your enemy has a swordyou lose>you have a sword >your enemy has a polearmyou lose and so onthe only choice is to carry a backup melee weapon longer than your enemy
>>64760137There's the folded 1000x shaped charge version for when you need to punch a tank
