Two-handed swords and Fine blades are both in the Basic Set and you can do the same thing with Striking ST One Attack Only. This is core stuff, and the problem has been with us since 4e started.

But yes, this is for more cinematic games - it's nonsensical for a peasant boy to inherit a super awesome Very Fine sword, or awesome set of gothic plate, or a Millenium Falcon - but that's what happens in stories.
