My favorite 1H is the knife. It is the only item I have loomed myself and never traded.

It's not another dagger, it's a tiny ass sword. As long as you have 5+ PS and decent wpf, it will wreck anyone not wearing plate. It's a great backup weapon for ranged or long polearm users. With a shield you can face hug and outspam anyone. I also like the model. It looks like a common kitchen knife. The kind that serial killers use in horror movies.
My favorite polearm is the long awlpike (as several others have voted).

90 speed isn't great, but it's just on the lower edge of viable in 1v1 situations. You won't beat a fast and skilled fighter, but some wonky stabs and judicious use of overheads will take down many players. In team combat it can't be matched. 185 length is shorter than a pike or longspear, but it outreaches basically anything else on a stab. It is amazing as a support weapon. I have 8 PS and that's enough to one-hit-kill many people if you can get a
single thrust to connect. If you are farther away, a straight thrust to the body or legs will do well. If you are getting forced into close combat a foot or head stab can hit when a straight-forward body stab would glance. It's the spear-type weapon that "feels right" to me.
Red tassel spear is a close second, and I feel like it's the polearm version of the longsword. Speed to match many smaller 2H and even some 1H weapons, but with greater reach. Great as a 4D weapon, but the thrust is good enough that can work very well on an agile hoplite. I'd take it over a war spear any day.
