What is the BEST Single-Handed Sword in History?

Enlisted is an MMO squad based shooter in World War II. Get an exclusive bonus by downloading through the link!
I've talked about why there is no such thing as THE ULTIMATE SWORD, the best design of all ever (example: https://youtu.be/ENnwSesef_M). But this time I'm actually going to commit and pick what I consider the "best" single-handed sword for three specific historical situations:
1. Battlefield
2. Duel
3. Self-Defense
And yes, there is absolutely some personal bias and subjectivity in play. There is no way to answer such questions 100% objectively. :)
