Well, about that, it turns out the Bat'leth may actually be a half-decent heavy weapon with lots of counterattack options...

It's the "Cow Tools" of melee weapons. It might work to an extent, but we've had millenia to perfect bladed and spiked weapons, and somehow never arrived at anything close to the bat'leth.

True, weapons designed for reach. Bat'leth is much better as a CQ weapon when tight spaces are a problem for long weapons. Of course, knives...
