Cruel Barb is a one-handed sword. It has a blue name, dropped by Edwin VanCleef in the Deadmines on occasion (roughly 14% of the time, according to Thottbot). It requires level 19, but may be found useful until level 30 or even beyond.
One possible replacement is 
[Fish Gutter], which is a one-handed axe, a quest item given in Southshore after the murloc and naga quests.
