Only by FM fiat which would be required for this thing to even e ist. I would say no, it's a weapon equivalent to a brass knuckles or a cestus.
A Magus black blade cannot be a monk's unarmed strike, period, unless your DM just decides it can.
you just rendered this entire thread useless. thank you very much.
Happy to help. Have a nice day!

KTHXBYE
Which is exactly what some of us have been saying from the beginning of the thread. Thank you Paladin for making it sink in at last.

We sorta all knew that, we were just wasting ur time.

Why does this remind me of the thread where someone wanted RAW that let him have his monk chop off his hands and replace them with enchantable clockwork hands?

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT!
I used a urumi for a blackblade once and it was quite effective.
A Klar makes a good Blackblade.
For me, Kama would be the most effective because it is the only Flurry of blows weapon that has slashing damage that a monk can use.
Edit: dammit thats not onehanded!
the double chicken saber and the nine ring broadsword (from UC) are both 1-handed slashing weapons that monks can use, and therefore flurry with.

And Temple sword, which i think i like better, but i like to stick with my unarmed strike for all occasions except for making ranged attacks. bladebound (unless i can get a black blade UAS) is just not for my character.
A Klar can have shield enchantments as well.
Um... if i use a klar as armor, i get horrible negatives to basically everything, and with a klar as a weapon, im not proficient. for my character, the klar sucks.
If i can't get a black blade UAS, can someone please find a way to get an intelligent fist for me? With the benefits i have for my unarmed strike, i probably won't be as good with any weapon as i will with my UAS.

What you're looking for is something along the lines self-forged PrC from Eberron.
So what about all those prosthesis' in skull and shackles and inner sea pirates? Would that count? What about a Empty hand monk changing the damage type on his improvised weapon... can he have an improvised intelligent blade... a bucket? Perhaps a metal plate... a large book?
What if I wanted a spellslinger 1/Black blade magus 3 and have a gun sword? Can the black blade effect the gun part, or is the gun unintelligent, but the blade (since it functions a cane sword) is?
This thread has gone in a very strange direction.
Also, what's the biggest 1 hander you can get? A scizore for martial weapons is a d10, then there's bastard swords or great aztec clubs for 1 handed exotic d10s.
Oh, and what about a phalanx fighter 3/blade bound magus 3, can his black blade be a pole arm? Or is the consensus that 'after market' weapon group changes don't count? Such as slashing UAs via hamalatsu, boar, or tiger? Or titan maulers using large rope gauntlets, or large daggers (since a large light is a medium slashing, and the titan mauler reduces the penalties). Jotun grip does not work, since it's just "wield two hander one haned -2", but phanlanx fighting says if you use a shield, a pole arm is a one handed weapon.
Empty hand monk won't work, as it's 1 round swift actions to change damage, same for the Cad's 'razor sharp chair leg' ability. Which sucks since a talking table leg you beat folks with is a great role play oppertunity.
Oh and a half orc beastmaster bladebound with equipment trick: rope, can his rope be a black blade? Since he can say his rope is a whip?
Technically, a scorpion whip can be a black blade, as was discussed in a recent thread.Instantly in love with the imagery this evokes.
A chain of obsidion-like shards of black steel, all thin and small in the middle, larger and cruelly jagged at the tip.
Only if you use the AA version of Scorpion Whip. The UC version is light.
I pointed out the differences (with Dev quotes!) here and there's a FAQ thread here.
I removed a couple offensive posts.
Someone probably got bent out of shape about the various conflicting definitions of "scorpion whip".

Agreed with Grick, barring extreme unusual circumstances, your own hand should not have(or gain) a mind of its own...
Reading this the first thing to pop into my head was D from Vampire Hunter D of course.
I would say that the specification of one-handed slashing weapon was done on purpose to prevent a character combining the Bladebound and Staff Magus archetypes to best effect. Using the Quarterstaff Master feat, the staff magus treats a quarterstaff as a one-handed weapon, so if the specification of slashing wasn't there, there would be nothing to prevent the staff magus' staff from being a black "blade". Similarly, a staff magus can only use simple weapons, and there are no one-handed slashing simple weapons. Again, that seems very deliberate.
