So what's the best 1h?

So I took a lot into consideration, and used a lot of your opinions, but I'm gonna stick between the Italian Sword, Nordic War Sword, and Nordic Champion's Sword. Cost isn't an issue, and I like the style of these three.
I also added a poll option.

Elite scimitar, niuweidao and military cleaver are worth considering :)

Nordic Champion's Sword

I heard it's like the 3rd best sword... mainly cuz of it's slower speed... do you agree?

Depends on the build.

I prefer the Simple Sword and the Italian Sword. At +3 the Simple Sword has almost the exact same stats as a base Italian Sword for 1/6 (?) the repair costs while the Italian Sword is just flat-out well rounded enough to be good in almost every situation, especially when heirloomed.

If you're going for lower PS (ie 12), though, and you want to stick with swords, go for the Scimitar, Grosse Messer or Italian Falchion. Straight swords just can't "cut it" at those lower damage values.

EDIT: If you want style points get a Side Sword. Bitches love Side Swords.

Iron War Axe, I'm on gen 4 for my 1h and the Iron War Axe is the only one I'm aware of that can stun a Longsword. Oh yea, it also breaks shields and has 40dmg at +3

Didn't see the hammer bit^^

I'll side with these guys on the Italian sword and simple sword.  Also the shashishka or however its spelled is a good, long sword

Long Espada. It's long, fast, and does lots of damage. Good for cav, too.

I go with the side sword, of course, because its sexy. It also has good thrust, though that's broken.

The Italian Sword is also sexy, and the best well-rounded sword IMO.

I actually use the Niuweidao : very fast (101) and powerfull (32) , long enough (88). But no pierce damage.
In his category you can use :
Elite scimitar : long reach, fast and powerfull (but no pierce dmg), I used it for many gens.
Grosse Messer and Langes Messer are good too.
Liuyedao : cheaper and faster. Perfect for low STR build.
Military Cleaver is powerfull
Italian sword : Good overall balance, probably my next choice.


Champion nordic is probably the best one, if you have enough wpf to be fast enough.

For 1h cav : Arabian cav sword, Knightly arming sword, Shashka

Axes : broad one : good but expansive
fighting axe : long reach and 2h weapon
1h war axe : my favorite axe, cheap and good enough.

Maces
Iberian mace
