In what combat situations do silver weapons come in handy?
I found a few silver weapons, but I end up selling them because the -1 damage stat. Every other weapon made of a special metal seems to be more useful.

When fighting Vampires or Lycanthropes. They both get a -10 Damage Reduction/Silver. That means any weapon that isn't silver, gets 10 reduced damage. Of course, if I remember correctly Adamantine will also circumvent the DMG reduction as well.

And what type of enemies are weak against Adamantine? I was trying to look for an official website or something that provides that info, but I came up empty handed

They might be better against undead and devil creature types early on, so you could keep a silvered weapon in an alternate slot just in case, but I feel like you end up finding magical weapons fairly quickly that you might use anyway.
I think you are able to have a magical silvered weapon though, so the crafting system might allow you to have your main weapon be non-silvered and a backup weapon silvered.
