Swords, 17-inch sword bayonets and dirks.
Welcome to 1938.

I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished for ever.

The telescopic tactical baton is the melee weapon of choice for the National Police Service. It comes in four varieties; the 16", 21", 26" and 31". Police officers are routinely armed with the 26" model. Police are trained to swipe at the arms and thighs of the suspect to force compliance.

The Makaarian military has done away with bayonets for combat use; they are still used for ceremonial events, and soldiers in the field are issued with knives, though they are intended for more practical uses in survival situations than for hand-to-hand combat.

Kat says that you shouldn't use bayonets...they get stuck and by the time it's out you're dead. Use a sharpened entrenching tool between neck and shoulder: faster, cleaner and safer.

Who wears hard armour on their neck? That's stupid, and probably a good way to get serious injury in a rollover crash or concussion blast.

True, but it is also a tiny area to aim for. With a knife or bayonet you could hit them anywhere on the body easily and reasonably expect to do some damage, generally enough to kill if you hit them right. If you stab someone in the gut with a bayonet they will probably die, if you hit them in the gut with a e-tool they will proceed to shoot you in the chest repeatedly. Also, bayonets have more reach and greater leverage than an e-tool.

You ever been whacked with the broadside of a shovel in the chest?

You won't have time to shoot someone in the chest, because you'll have had the wind knocked out of you and be stunned for a good second or two.

every knight is trained to use a hand and a half longsword (with a norse-style hilt) that they wear nearly always. This has come in handy many times, even in modern warfare.
