Fiery Gladius....dunno if that is really under-rated, but i rarely hear about outside of this thread.(people seem to like the Fiery Dragon more, but I think the Fiery dragon is just a little too gaudy)
Mine is just a purple with like a +24 HP mod and 13^50 inscrip, permanently belongs to my Koss, looks pretty sweet with his Skull Shield. (another fav for me tho prolly not under-rated)
the most underated item skin
pygar
Harrier's haste
I'm in total agreement with ya, FG actually gets the flame around the whole blade with FdS just have flames around the upper part of the blade.(there is a considerable length above the sword guard that isn't engulfed in flames)

The prettiest / most underrated skins were already around in Prophecies. :>

Chrono Re delle Ere
Elonian Gladius, black dyed 
About the trend, because prophecies was the best GW imo, and they actually did put some effort into making item skins.

Simple is better. Simple + beautiful + real-sized + animated is best!
(Now why cant they make an elite warrior armor that does not look bulky with a million pointy things sticking out everywhere! starter paragon armor FTW!)

In my opinion, one of the most truly underrated skins in the game is the Grinning Dragon Axe -- even in this thread nobody has mentioned it yet. Very original and nice looking skin, quite rare and absolutely unpopular, for some reason.

I've only considered swords here. There are some cool skins if you dig around

I've just made a para and I really like the suntouched spear, it appears to be common, but it has a nice look to it imo.

None of the above are under-rated so to speak.

For me, my favourite underrated skins have to be:
Crude Shield (Dyes so awesomely)
Shield of the Lion (Same reason)
Ball Hammer
Ram's Hammer/Giant Slayer's
Glacial Blade

Sword: Crenellated.
Axe: Hand Axe/White Scythe.
Hammer: Plagueborn.
Bow: Plagueborn.
Scythe: Briarwood.
Shield: Summit Warlord.
Those are by far my favorites, even though some of them are very common and others are pretty unusual.
But meh - beauty is in the eye...
Axe: Hand Axe/White Scythe.
Hammer: Plagueborn.
Bow: Plagueborn.
Scythe: Briarwood.
Shield: Summit Warlord.

I love that skin, but I never see anyone using that, or selling that.

Yeah? The guys in Minister's Cho state spit them like crazy.
But since there are no inscriptions in that area, I never have an use for the ones I got while vanquishing there.

I love the Canthan Crude Axe skin, and although they are rare, I don't see people asking for them often.
I also like the Summit Hammer, it just looks like it would hurt to be hit by one
And although I never got one, I always thought the Vertebreakers looked amazing. They were quite popular at one point, but they have dropped in price and desire a lot.
Shield of the Lion is extremely common, but very nice. Only other one I like as much is the Ebonhand Aegis.
And I use this bow the most, because I like how it looks. Most of them are pretty generic looking, this one has some uniqueness to it. Ancient Longbow - and a green one is very easy to farm.

So:
Katana
Bo

Serpent axe, nuff said ;>
Rak Orius
Gothic Dual Axe: don't think it quite fits the category of underrated but I think it's simply the sweetest Axe skin in the game.
Golden Machette: always liked this skin
Stone Crusher: something about this skin that says " I'm all about the smackdown"
Canthan metallic skin Air and Water Staff.
Golden Pillar
And my personal fav, Sun and Moon Shield. Simply Beautiful.

I have a perfect tyrian variant, if i ever do choose to sell it, ill not let it go for anything less than a tyrian perfect fellblade would fetch.
The first reaction of many people on seeing the skin is "wow, nice"

The Ice Breaker. My ranger looks sick carrying that giant hammer.
I'm a huge fan of the Rotwing bow skin, too.
Bramble bows.
Wailing Wands. The shrieking face at the top is just eerie. Goes nicely with my necro.

I'd say golden phoenix blade. I've always like them a lot. Most people think they are too short, but hey, I've got nothing to prove.

cerulean edge
the fact that they are small nearly means ppl auto-hate it. same goes wit wingblades for the most part.

Hammer:
Clouded Maul. I actually HM-farmed Xaquang Skyway for a gold Clouded Maul yesterday, but only found a purple with sucky stats.
Sword:
OK, longsword is my favorite, but it's apparently more liked than I thought, so I'm going to go with my other favorite, Katana.
Axe:
Double-bladed Axe or Tyrian Sickle.
Honorable mention for this one: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Image:Morrob%27s_Axe.jpg
The picture doesn't do it justice - the blade is "chaos blue" and the haft is chromed. Very pretty, despite the ridiculous design. Too bad it's not available in max (and that you can't dye flame axes the same way - yes, I tried).
Bow: Easily the Mursaat Bow. How cool is that?
