Unused Craftable Weapons

[Tsukiyomi]

I have a fire blade.  It's a wonderful weapon for archer or for leveling new characters.  As far as the crafted bastard swords go (I'm assuming you're speaking mainly of the Justice/Injustice), I'm not really sure why they are underused or undervalued.  The stats are pretty good on them.. could just be that in that price range most people tend to go for a true 2h like the stone maul or elegant greatsword/forlorn hope since most bastard swords are pretty useless in 1h (think it's a 30% nerf to speed/damage.. can't remember the exact %).
