My chaotic barbarian hasn't seen an altar to sacrifice for a decent one-handed weapon - the first one is anyway Cleaver - until reaching
dlvl:6. Alas, dlvl:5 had the Mall, and two shops there offered two
wimpy artifacts, the Orcrist and the Giantkiller, and the Hellfire
was also generated randomly (in the mines, as I seem to recall). So
the altar gave me the Cleaver, and with 4 artifacts already generated
I was lucky to have then rather quickly got another one, the athame
Deep Freeze. Not the worst choice for that chaotic barbarian to have
a semi-permanent engraver for the saving E-word. But chances for a
powerful one-handed artifact from sacrifices may now be negligible.
It occurred to me that the Lawful Quest may provide the Stormbringer,
as does crowning. So let's pray as mad, was the idea... - and then...
the very first #pray'er provided Stormbringer already; what a luck!

What's wrong with cleaver? I ascend with it (in nethack). Is Cleaver
too weak in slashem?
