Bigger axes that aren't necessarily better. Lighter materials can be wielded uncomfortably in one hand, and the roundness is much better due to its size (about double), but the overall damage dealt is lower due to low accuracy and heaviness. This can be mitigated through enchantments, but there are better weapons to enchant, making axes better.

They come in either a completely normal variety or are runed, which increases their total damage without an enchantment. In older version of the game, whips could not break, making them overpowered when coated with poison or sulfuric acid, but now with low level material whips, break easily. They are too strong to train agility with, yet too weak to serve as good weapons without good materials. Technically they serve as fine weapons when highly enchanted, but the allure of a magic whip greatly overshadows normal whips.

The worse short swords. Their lightness takes off a bit of damage in compensation for their better defending ability, but that lost damage hurts them a lot. They do have a 50% damage bonus to plants, but since most enemies are not plant plants (wait, they aren't????), are often outclassed.
