Contents
Generation
A +0 two-handed sword is one of the possible starting swords for Barbarians.[1]
Two-handed swords make up about 2.2% of randomly generated weapons (on the ground, as death drops, and in shops).
Strong humanoid monsters may be generated with a two-handed sword if they do not have a default weapon, especially if they are lords or overlords.[2] Croesus is always generated with a two-handed sword.[3]

The two-handed sword skill covers the use of two-handed swords and tsurugi. The Tsurugi of Muramasa is an artifact weapon that uses the skill.
Strategy
Two-handed swords are solid early game weapons for their high damage rolls - particularly for weaker roles such as Tourists - but can become a nuisance when cursed, making it an unpopular choice to use past the mid-game. The #tip command can be used to get curse removal items out of a carried bag, but most players will still prefer a one-handed and/or curse-resistant weapon at this stage.
Variants
SLASH'EM
SLASH'EM introduces the Deathsword, an artifact two-handed sword that is the second guaranteed sacrifice gift for Barbarians and is chaotic for wishing purposes. It has a +14 damage bonus and +5 to-hit against humans, but is considered generally unremarkable amongst chaotic artifacts.
UnNetHack
In UnNetHack, Thiefbane's base item is a two-handed sword.
