Tonfa should not be bladed. A Tonfa can block, jab, and swing

A bladed tonfa would force the user to only utilize it exterior of the forearm, making it either a primarily hacking or slicing weapon.

Cutting would be very hard to achieve, and the amount of momentum you can gain with your forearm would make hacking useless. Because the grip is perpindicular to the weapon, it makes stabbing difficult as well.

Whenever you struck, the attack would either be ineffective because of a range or momentum issue.

The best comprimise would be to have slightly pointed ends.

I don’t really see any issue with the cutting part.
