I pesonally have used disarm and have it used against me, but I agree this is rare.
But what I have seen and used is: Targeting the weapon to destroy it.
On axes and maces, this is a worthwile tactic. Versus swords, it is a bit longer, but it works also.
And in RQIII, the broadsword and the scimitar (the most common 1 handed swords) are impaling weapons. I have already lost (and recovered later) several time my sword that way.
I know it is not mandatory to use one's sword that way, but the impale bonus is often too tempting.

Runequestement votre,
