11 Atrim designs!?! An Atrim medieval design!?! Hope this becomes a thread. Not all of them are Atrims. Just a couple in the line. He sold cas Iberia the rights to his Tactical line, which I believe included a Tactical jian and Longsword.

Thanks. First link works. Very nice Atrim. Would like a wider blade version. Second link does not lead to Atrim.

You know. If you wanna protect against a bear... Why not a pole axe?

If the choice was any edged weapon, that would be a good choice. But, could shaft be folded? I do not know how to strap a spear shaft on my back while riding a bike or fit it in small to average size trunks and storage spaces.
If we allowed for different edged weapons as a backup to a gun, then, I would have a sword strapped to my back for bike rides and stowed away in the auto, and for hiking/camping I would use a walking staff/spear.
Also, I should have emphasized that the goal was to "defend against" beast or psycho, not necessarily kill it. Just keep it away. As well, in all these situations, I always have a pistol or rifle or shotgun or combination thereof.

Good point. A sword would do for a psycho. A beast? Depends what kind. A take apart spear might be fragile in the joint. Not sure what a good solution there is.
I had one good design that would be great here. A 3 edge longsword. It is basically like those three edge small swords, but with a thicker longer blade and configured like a long sword. Would have good reach, you would be able to maintain a good grip on it and you could do lethal thrusts easily.
At least thats the theory behind it. I modeled the idea after a bullfighters sword, only adapted for keeping distance.
