Adventurer's guide presented us two new elven weapons: leafblade aka kukri V2.0(Or 3.0, because, you know, wakizashi) and thornblade aka ... something V2.0. But what "something" is it, and which fighter weapon group does it belong to?
While leafblade is obviously a light blade, thornblade weapon group is questionable. Is it more close to rapier or to scimitar? I'd say 1st, because the thornblade is finesseable by default, just like rapier(and rapier is also a weapon with which elves are proficient by default), but it is still a one-handed sword-like weapon, so it may be more close to scimitar. First one is a light blade, while second one is heavy. I'd like to see official paizo answer, but discussion is still welcome.
To me the line 'An elven thornblade grants no additional benefit when wielded two-handed.' says it's a rapier clone and so a light blade.

As the creator and writer of both blades, I'd say light blade for both. I'm not an official rules authority, though, so don't cite my opinion as anything but advisory. ^_^
