They could reuse the models and remove/replace them from MNK like how they did with daggers from GLD/PLD when ROG/NIN came out. (✯◡✯)

I feel like in later occurrences, 2 handed hammers and 2 handed bludgeon should be separated into 2 categories. When you say 3 handed bludgeons, you think club or something like a bō. The 2 are very different conceptually.
