Knights predominately used 2 handed weapons until much later. The concept of the "knight 1h" wasn't in classic EQ and a standard 1h just couldn't compete in terms of DPS with a 2h because it had to be balanced for duel wield.

I remember the Primal Velium Knight's Sword in sleepers, and maybe one other one (or class specific?) in NToV that was pretty drool worthy. They got a little more common as casual loot in SoL and PoP as well. I don't even think the PVKS was initially in sleepers, I seem to remember that was added later but I can't find anything about that.
