Do you prefer blunt or edged weapons for melee combat?

When it comes to re-killing the undead sometimes a bullet is just not the answer. eventually whether it be for stealth or lack of ammunition. Your going to have to role up your sleeves and kill a zombie with a melee weapon. but the answer is which kind? The two main classes of melee are of coursed the blunt force weapons. Which crush bones and smash skulls causing so much damage to the zombies brain to point its nothing more then wet chunks sprayed across the pavement.

The pros of this is that a blunt weapon doesn't get dull and needs very little maintenance. also you dont have to worry so much about your attack since things like edge alignment don't come into play. you all so cant as easily injure and infect yourself. The cons are that blunt weapons are generally heavy, take more strength to wield tiring you out faster. and are consequently slower.

Edged weapons on the other hand not rely of shear force to kill a zombie. instead they concentrate the force applied to them into a narrow area, the edge of the blade. allowing one to cleanly slice through dead flesh and bone with (depending on the blade) relative ease. Which is why humans quickly abandoned the crude club for the advancement of the blade. 

Pros: fast, less strength required per hit, lighter. Con's: Needs maintenance, sharping, cleaning, oiling and so on. Also needs a higher tear of skill to use effectively. anyone can swing a blunt object around. not everyone can wield a sword. harder to find, while things like clubs and baseball bats can be found everywhere or even made with relative ease. True battle ready edged weapons are hard to come by. sure there are plenty of display caliber wall hangers out there. but most of them are a quick trip to an early grave.
