My favorite T2k PC once used a hatchet in close combat. It was messy, but effective. He's used knuckle-dusters a few times, always in an attempt to subdue an opponent or end a fist-fight quickly.
Personally, I like the Kukri. I just looks cool. My dad, a Korean War vet, told me a story he'd heard about Gurkhas in WW2. I can't remember if it took place in the ETO or PTO (I think it was the former, either in Italy or North Africa). Anyway, he'd heard that for night patrols, some Gurkhas would strip down completely naked and crawl into no man's land armed only with their Kukris. They'd sneak up on foxholes and reach in to touch the occupant. If they felt any clothing, they knew it was an enemy and would silently dispatch said with their Kukris. It sounds apocryphal to me now, but as a kid, the story made quite an impression. In the poll, the closest thing to a Kukri would be machete. I also like Tomahawks, ever since reading a couple of books about Roger's Rangers in the French & Indian War. -
