My view on it is that most artifact weapons are still designed to be a weapon first, and pretty second. So most of them are going to look fairly similar simply because they are trying to be efficient and usable. The differences would be in the details, which is where the fine engraving, the wrapping made of God-blooded seal pup fur, and other such things would come in. The book even notes in a couple entries that the specific artifact appears to be more ornamental than intend for use, which says to me that the really unique mall-ninja designs were fairly rare among artifacts.
