Yup. Not a pike. A partisan. A ranseur could fit the bill too, but I was going more towards partisan.

Nevertheless the partisan my paladin is holding is more of a ceremonial gadget rather than a real combat-effective weapon. Partisans were used succesfully against cavalry and against non-polearm wielding troops as disarming and distancing weapons. My paladin is not the most bloodthirsty killer in existence and perhaps is better in disarming and succumbing his opponents than outright slaying them.

But the criticism is welcome and justified - I must say I wasn't at all sure about the choise of the wepon myself either.
