...or a halberd. Did some googling and searching on the forum, but I did not come across any.

Hoping some of you guys know of some.

I'm thinking that in a home defense situation or in close quarters that being able to chop and stab with the same weapon might be useful.
 
How big is your house? I'm thinking you probably won't have the room to use something like this (below) effectively.

If you really want an edged weapon, I suggest a Cold Steel Trail Hawk. It's well enough made, and light enough to be quick in a fight. If you really want something Stabbie, get the Spike Hawk. It's a little heavier, but not bad.

Or get a Shotgun. You'll likely spend less on a used 870 or 500 than you would on a useful polearm, and be better armed because of it.
 
IMO, get a spiked hawk that allows you to choke up on the handle, all the way to the head. Then you can use the hawk for stabbing, sure you'll be up close, but that's when you might need to stab. If you have more room, use a gun, with somewhat less room you can swing/chop. But, up real close when you can't use a longer ranged weapon, a high grip on a spiked hawk is about the best grip for strong stabbing motions.
 
Add a spike to the end of a spike hawk, look through the modding sticky for pics of it. (worth a read through the whole thing IMHO)

Here ya go, if you can't easily buy it, you can easily make it. Making things deadly is one of my favourite pastimes. :D
(these aren't my pics though.)

Cold steel shovel might be the closest thing that's readily available, sharp on all edges.
