Neither were swords for that matter. I believe spears and axes were used most often.. although I could be wrong. Usually the warrior would have helmet, chainmail, a big circular shield that covered most of their body, and a spear. Perhaps even a guy to shield them while they attacked.

Battle of Crecy in 1357. British soldiers slaughtered the French knights with their longbows and lost only about 100 men. That's why I think that in Dustari, bows may play a major role dpending on their attack values.
As for the spears and such, they mainly used pikes, which would cut horses feet and dismount the knights.
