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.

I don't remember the specific date when it was added, but I seem to remember pre-luclin. An NPC appeared outside that would trade a Primal Velium Warsword or Primal Velium Hammer for a Knight's Sword or Fist Wraps. This was done at the same time as the rework of damage/delay & stats on 2h weapons to be more appealing. Knights were also rewarded with higher ratio 1h weapons to compensate for the lack of dual-wield. Such as the Knight Sword.
