I was looking through the expanded list of weapons in Ultimate Combat for the Fighter's weapon training ability, when I noticed something:
Monk: bo staff, brass knuckles, butterfly sword, cestus, dan bong, double chained kama, double chicken saber, emei piercer, fighting fan, hanbo, jutte, kama, kusarigama, kyoketsu shoge, lungshuan tamo, monk's spade, nine-ring broadsword, nine-section whip, nunchaku, quarterstaff, rope dart, sai, sansetsukon, seven-branched sword, shang gou, shuriken, siangham, temple sword, tiger fork, tonfa, tri-point double-edged sword, unarmed strike, urumi, and wushu dart.
However, looking at the weapons table in Ultimate Combat:
Sword, tri-point double-edged, 12 gp, 1d8 (S), 1d10 (M), ×3, 14 lbs., P, Reach
The fighter's weapon training seems to imply that it should have the Monk weapon property. So either the fighter's weapon training is listed incorrectly, or the weapon table is missing information.
If it is a monk weapon, it's certainly something I'd love to pick up for my PFS Barbarian/Monk. It'd be nice to get an official clarification on it (for people like me who play PFS), but it's probably a very low priority item.

Well, the unarmed strike is not a Monk weapon either.
It is just in the Fighter Weapon Group: Monk.
It does not mean that all must have the Monk quality, even if the name suggests so.
Now, if the tri-point double-edged sword was intended to be a Monk weapon, it was at one point, they decided not to include the quality.
So, for now, RAW is clear, but RAI is very much up in the air.
