A long sword is one of the more popular weapons, for its damage and versatility. A plain long sword does d8/d12 damage against small/large monsters. Being made of iron, it can rust and corrode. A lawful character who's level 5 or higher can get Excalibur by repeatedly #dipping one into a fountain.
A significant fraction (7/24 = 29.2%) of artifact weapons are long swords, the highest of any item type; therefore if you find one early (or start with one, as is the case with knights and valkyries) it would be a good idea to practice with it should you want to use an artifact weapon at some point.
