In Enshrouded 1.0, the one-handed weapons split into swords, axes and clubs (maces), and this list covers 100 of them. Twelve are unique weapons found at set points in the world, ten come from enemies or crafting, and the other 78 are random chest loot only: 29 swords, 27 axes and 22 clubs and maces. Daggers are in the dagger assassin build and shields in the sword and shield parry build, so they are not repeated here.
Quick answer:
Flame level 1 to 5: Dragonsbane, Greater Golden Twinflame Sword and Lesser Golden Twinflame Sword, all found in the Albaneve Summits, craft at item level 26 at the Blacksmith, ahead of every other craftable one-handed unique.
Flame level 6 and up: all nine craftable one-handed uniques reach item level 26 at Flame level 6 and 7, 36 at Flame level 8 and 46 at Flame level 9 and up, and every one-handed weapon at the same item level has the same base damage (49, 64 and 79).
Choosing by enhanced perks: Dragonsbane unlocks Health Leech, Critical Strike Damage and Critical Strike Chance for critical hits, Greater Golden Twinflame Sword unlocks Critical Strike Chance and All Cut Damage +10% for cut damage, Lesser Golden Twinflame Sword unlocks Sneak Attack Damage and Backstab Damage twice each for stealth, and Wolf’s Hydra, the only club, unlocks Merciless Attack Damage twice.
The rest: the other 78 one-handed weapons are random chest loot at the chest’s level, and ten more drop from enemies or are crafted.

Unique one-handed weapons and where to find them

Seven weapons drop from enemy groups: Scavengers, Fell Defenders, Lancers and Squires, the Vukah, and the Drak’Dal Chieftain. Two more, the Scrappy Sword and the Spiked Club, are made at the Blacksmith. Oswald Anders points you there early on:
“Crafting a Scrappy Sword, a Spiked Club, or some armor will get us started!”
The plain Club needs no crafting station. You make it by hand from 6 Wood Logs and 1 Stone.

How to read the perks and abilities
Every name, perk and ability in the tables is the base version of the weapon. A few terms come up in every table:
- Perks are stat bonuses. “(twice)” means the weapon carries that perk two times.
- Health Leech and Mana Leech appear by name only, without a value.
- The percentage displayed for All Cut Damage, All Blunt Damage, or Damage against Fell, Hollow, Vukah or Wildlife is the increase to that damage type or against the named enemy group.
- Abilities use the item-card text word for word. Renewal reads “Defeat an enemy to restore Durability”.
- Retaliation reads “A percentage of received Melee Damage is dealt back to attackers”.
- Ruthless reads “Increases Critical Strike damage against Soaked enemies”, and Opportunistic reads “Increases Critical Strike chance against Soaked enemies”.
