Modern to near future technology but no significant mechanic encachement/exoskeleton elements. This means that kevlar armor or a modern helmet is allowed, but that an adult, fit man (you can assume a trained special forces soldier or sportsman) should be able to put on the equipment with a little bit of help from an assistant and carry and use the weapons using his own strength. Of course, electronic augmentations such as a wrist display that reports damage to the armor is permitted.
1. You can use modern metalurgy for more durable and light alloys for armor and weapons
2. You can use modern technology and engineering to maximize effeciency a personalization of armor for knight.
3. If you allowed hypermodern weapon like nanoblade (sword with molecule thin blade) i can imagine <PERSON> more focused on mobility with lighter armor if that sword can cut throught armor. But this weapon would make heavy knight obsolete.
4. Support - i can imagine that <PERSON> armor can be rigged with electronic, from simple radio, to hi-tech stuff you can see in cyberpunk like damage sensor, infra/night vision. face recognition, friend or foe system.
Optional - Some basic pasive exoskeleton function could be used too, not powered just saving some stamina for soldier. 347
Some time ago i have seen testing at FORD where mechanic completing car are forced to have hands raised above neck more than 50% of time. it will support their arms. At the end of his shift he wasnt totaly spend.

The knight must fight using only melee weapons.
* Swords, hammers, … daggers. Its about training and doctrine.
The knight must be able to fight both on horseback and by foot, depending on situation.
* Same as before its about training and your equipment
The usual setup of sword for attack and shield for protection is preferred.
* if you want fight of knight in heavy armor (honor fight 1v1 or gladiator type) sword and shield is not much viable
* in history when two fullplate knight fighted they holded their sword by blade and atacked by other end of sword. Kinda like when using mace. You try to knock him down and then use your weight se he can get up while you are trying stab him with thin dagger in his weakpoint
<PERSON> technique in the year 1459. https://www.thevintagenews.com/2019/02/17/mordhau/
The German word <PERSON> translates roughly as “murder stroke” or “murder strike”. It represents a particular move in German medieval swordsmanship where the fighter holds the blade of his sword with both hands and essentially uses the weapon more like a mace or war hammer to hit his opponent.
After sufficient training, the knight who receives the equipment should be able to duel another similarily armed knight or robot.
-honor duels
Bonus: The knight should be able to perform classic horseback lance duels.
-there would be special armor for horseriding lance duels

I would recomend to look up youtube channel Metatron and shadiversity

It all depend what you want, just duels, team duels, honor fight. Should that knight fight against modern soldier?
Also there can be many auguments on soldier side, different body enhacments. you can be insipered by shadowrun and clasical cyberpunk Also dont forget combat drugs 358
