This is a very important question, so choose wisely.

The Boot

Hatchets

A Pair of Pipes

Various Melee Weapons You Find Lying Around Isenstadt

Gotta be the pipes, just felt more brutal and raw than the actual murder implements. TOB stays winning

 

[Z-Brownie]

nothing can get more crude than a pair of rusty pipes

 

[dedge]

Voted pipes but that hatchet quote is great lol

 

[Dictator]

I thought the pipes were great
The Old BLood is such good fun.

 

[Iztok]

I don't remember ever using a melee weapon.

The pipes were the most developed in my opinion. They were really useful during the game and for various things.

Also going around like a gangster while running around shirtless using it was badass.

Knives because a knife to the back is an insta kill (at least in Wolf:ET)

RTCWs swooshing knife sound is stuck in my head, so that wins.

 

[ThereAreFourNaan]

For your consideration

And the last two due to media limits

 

[Lowrys]

Hatchet all day every day.

Hatchet. I loved sneaking up on nazis or running directly at them with it. It's just so satisfying.

I thought I'd miss the knife from TNO, but hatchet was better in every way. The epilogue for TNC is perfect for me, too. I always feel like a personal touch is better when killing nazis.

I was, however, very disappointed I didn't get to introduce those klansmen from Roswell to my beautiful hatchets.

From memory, you can if you do the enigma code strike thingies for Roswell.
