Okay, so most weapons have a 1stperson and a normal mesh. Not boundweapons. The axe has BoundAxe and BoundAxeHolder, which made me think maybe they were just using a different terminology, but the other two are sword01 and swordenchanteffects and bow and bowenchanteffects. The meshes look wildly different in Nifskope.

Whats make this all the odder is that while I can edit the color of the bowenchanteffects and reimport it glowing differently, if I try this with the sword or axe it fails utterly. Anyone know what's going on here?
EDIT: Oh and what makes it weirder is that the bow that works? Invisible in the CK, but I can see it in game. WTF?
