What's your pick?
Scimitar
An elegant weapon used by mounted swordsmen, as it extends the natural movement of the arm, especially during a gallop. But the curved blade can also be wielded well on the ground.
With a curve like the crescent moon,
The scimitar glimmers in the light of noon,
Its edge as sharp as a serpent's tooth,
A deadly beauty, a warrior's truth.
Battle axe
A one-handed battle axe is the perfect mix of a bludgeoning and cutting weapon. It causes nasty wounds but is harder to wield than other bludgeoning weapons or swords, but its effectiveness should never be underestimated.
In the warrior's hand, a mighty battle axe,
Crushing armor, piercing any plate,
Its blow like lightning, swift and deadly,
Death and devastation, wherever it moves.
Two-handed sword
Although it is a large sword that serves more of a representational purpose, it can be used in a fearsome manner by a strong fighter, as the blow can be delivered with much force and covers a certain radius.
A two-hand sword, huge and strong,
Glides through the air like a predator's song,
Its blade cuts like a hot knife through butter,
A true master of battle and the victor.
