Kukri and falcata odd stats

The falcata is also an exotic weapon with absurd stats... T_T

They made up for it by making the sword cane suck much, much worse then other martial one-handed weapons though (straight up it is worse then most simple one handed weapons).

personally I think the falcata would be balanced just fine if they dropped the damage a die... but there is no easy fix for the sword cane.

D8, 18-20x2 crit exotic sounds fair.
D8 x3 crit makes more sense to me, and x3 instead of high range crit for kukri too

The sword cane sucks because it's a sword in disguise. You can take it into many places where you aren't allowed to bring weapons.

Is the sword cane treated as a weapon with its own particular stats, or just a poorly balanced short sword or rapier?

That is nothing but flavor.... to quote Sean's mantra flavor should never get in the way of game balance.
