On second thoughts, I have my own gripes.

Do you know where sai come from? They're blunt implements originally used for agriculture. Okinawan farmers were able to carry them around and use them to defend themselves without technically being armed.

The point is useful for displacing earth, but much too thick to be of much use in skewering people, much less slicing. A bladed sai isn't really a sai anymore it's just a dagger with an obnoxiously large handguards that gets in the way of the blade anyway. It's primary ablication was in blocking and trapping sword attacks.

I guess it's not too out of place in Vacuo sine people probably live and die by the floodplains like in ancient Egypt, but I can't imagine her using them in that way and if anyone in the world of Remnant has a permit to carry a weapon it's a huntress.

Not really an asthetic or practical issue. I just dislike it when a weapon I learned to use in my karate lessons is so throughly disregarded.
