I have only 2 (the darts are throwing weapons): the kukri and the dagger.
And to loose a weapon, you forget the disarming rules and the impales. Even with 2 spare weapons, I have sometimes finished some fights barehanded.

We see that quite often, even with (not so) begining characters.
I agree with your comment on more advanced characters.
