"It's not a commonly used weapon, even back home. However, the more common variation would be something akin to a hammer, or perhaps an axe, both of which it might be easier to obtain from the moogles than something like this."

It would, of course, not be entirely surprising if the moogles could manage something like an axesword (if perhaps built to a smaller scale) but something more commonly used is almost certainly going to be easier. And possibly less expensive as well.
