No reach?

[Homocommando]

It is kind of ridiculous that reach doesn't exist, and some tiny knife is a viable option against a long spear. That you can't use your spear to keep enemies/predators away. That you can't finish off wounded creatures without risking getting kicked by them, even though they are not able to stand, and you have a very long pointy stick.

Knives are pretty bad due to their low attack bonus, which essentially measures reach for time being.
