A spear and a shield. Most effective weapon you can get on the combat field. You have the length advantage and you can protect yourself with a shield in case you miss.
Quick fact to all katana-fans (I myself like the katana, though it's not my weapon of choice):
If your opponent has chain-mail, you're gonna ruin your sword before you can cut through it. Check out "The Deadliest Warrior", the Samurai vs. Viking episode where they tested it. Didn't even scratch the chain-mail.

I have a fetish for swords, so the option i pretty clear to me. ^^
I'd probbably go with a Flamberge or a longsword and heavy armour. Or an arming sword and lighter armour, most likely Brigandine.

It also scored one of the fastest hits ever on Deadliest Warrior. An awesome weapon, but I don't reckon I'd be any good with it. I'd have to go for a double-edges shortsword and a net (I'd go for a trident, but I have no idea how to maximise its efficiency!)Kukakkau said:

A rapier or foil, something light, quick, and sharp.
Or a broadsword, heavy, and...not much else, both good for different fighting styles.

I'd take a Shaolin Spade for an outdoor duel. One end of the 2-meter staff has a flat, bell-shaped blade. The other end, a crescent blade. This weapon having been honorably mentioned in The Zombie Survival Guide.
Of course my preferred weapon would be a Gunblade but it was specifically said that my chosen weapon excludes firearms e.e

Well... AFAIK, the trident is a pretty striaghtforward weapon, like a spear. You have to have a pretty strong thrust, and you have a clear advantage of lenght. That's why it's so good to use with a net, because you ensnare your opponent and then you impale his ass from a distace. Unlike the sword where you have to be somewhat closer for a finishing move.Private Custard said:
I feel that I have to go with the katana, if only because ninjato generally aren't as well-made (or long, for that matter). While I would have to alter my fighting style a tad to compensate for a single cutting edge as opposed to two, it wouldn't be that difficult or hindering to me (I think).
