I always liked the quarterstaff. Something about it being just a long stick is appealing to me. I guess I just have that dog in me lol

I'm also somewhat partial to it, mainly because I learned a little bō in karate class as a kid. It also appeals to me as a thing that's not purpose-built as a weapon and is thus a bit more sneaky.

Give me one that's properly usable at half staff and then we're talking

Why hold it in the middle if you can hold it at the end
