To me it looks like a saber, but there is no saber in the weapons list. (!)

So what weapon is the closest to a it?

I have a physical reproduction of that sword and I would definitely say that's an elven curve blade. (exotic two-handed)

I read that as "Thong-Cleaver" when I saw the heading.

Had to do a double take.

Humm... But she only used it 1 handed in the movie. And its said to be based on Cavalry Sabers, which are 1hd weapons.

Would it make sense if I drop it to a 1d6, 1hd?, but retain the Elven Curve Blade's +2 to vs Sunder?

I would say scimitar, or elven ( Aldori) dueling sword, so finessable.

Bikinifang The Thong Cleaver.

+1 Elvin fine blade that grants +4 when sundering undergarments.

Didn't Zorro have a sword like that?
