You know what I think? I think Jaune's weapon represents what was once standard issue for solders in war: Cheap, simple, and effective. It dispenses with most flashy and skill-intensive abilities so that you don't have to spend a lot of time training to use it; has a simple size-changing ability for ease of storage, likely requiring a minimal amount of Dust to make; and makes sure the warrior can do the two most important things in battle: attack and defend. (compare this to say, Crescent Rose, which has devastating offensive capabilities, but is hard to block with.)

Speaking of Crescent Rose, this weapon is the perfect foil to it: Simple and easy to use vs. complicated and hard to use.
