Functionality-wise? I love wakizashis. They're light, you can use them indoors (I dare you to use a katana with an 8' ceiling) and they're easier to hide. They are an effective short range slicing weapon, and don't even have to compliment a larger blade to be effective.
Cool-wise? Yeesh. It's probably be something like the schiavana, a stabbing weapon with a basket. They look about as cool as you can get. If you're not familiar, imagine a fencing foil with a thrusting blade. It's awesome.
