Used a self-loomed Double Sided Lance for 2 generations, currently looming up another one (old one sold).  It's great!

Actually, I was thinking of you when I posted battle fork.

Most of the underused items you listed are underused because they're either peasant weapons or otherwise bad. It's only logical that people go for the better alternative.

No such thing as bad weapons. Only bad players.

Perhaps it was a poor choice of words. I meant  that there are better weapons stats-wise.

A good player can make a good score with any weapon. It's just that people are min-maxers and tend to go with the best weapons that they like.

Item price and upkeep are large factors as well

Shortened Military Scythe is ridiculously good for its low price. Hardly noticed a speed difference compared to a German Greatsword.

I got a MP Plain Kite Shield until I got bored of getting shot to the sides

Nowadays my only weird loom is Elders Scythe.

Well it is very different across the ocean.
1H

Shashka - Most of the 1handed cavs use either that or ACS .
All of the short Swords - In rageball people use them (Scottish sword most likely)
Fighting Pick - It is an amazing peasant weapon i used it when i were a lowbie i don't understand why people ignore that aswell.With low PS and Str thats the only 1h weapon that won't glance.
Grosse and Langes Messer - I rarely see grosse messer but Langes Messer is commonly used as pikeman,longbowman or crossbowman side weapon.

2H

Maul I only see DenBitre Old Shatterhand with that 
Shortened Voulge -No one uses it.
Shortened Military Scythe - Pretty overused both in strat and in cRPG.
Goedenag - I just learnt that it can be used as 1hander aswell.I rarely see that ugly stick...
Long Iron Mace - Needs crushthrough imo , stats are useless compared to other 2handers.
Sword of War - Very common 2hander in Eurozone. I remember paying on top of danish to get one to myself .(Than i traded it to Great Sword which is way more awesome imo.)

Polearm

Voulge - rarely seen in siege .
Long Voulge - Don't mention it or you'll make Bars cry .
All of the Staffs - Classic lancer sideweapon on EU side . Elite cav shield + heavy lance + quarter staff = typical clone soldier in eu.
Military Scythe - classic early strat polearm ^^
Military Fork- underused
Battle Fork- underused
Long Spiked Club- underused
Both Long Hafted Maces - underused
Double Sided Lance - I see it all the time.

Imo the most underused or maybe never used item is heavy crossbow... why would u use it while you have an arbalest oO
Btw Palfrey is a lonely horse seeking riders ...

I don't think it'd be a sin if they had some items with the exact same stats.  Then it would be an aesthetic choice and we'd see that interesting variety on the battlefield.  I mean they went to all the trouble of adding them to the game, might as well get someone to use them.
