The SRD only gives a means to determine costs and weights of weapons for Large and Small versions based on the Medium weapons. Any supplied values are the author's best determination.

Larger than a short sword, but smaller than a longsword, the side-sword is a popular weapon amongst those who favor speed & finesse over mere brute force. The side-sword consists of a straight, lightweight blade in between 1 & 2 1/2 feet, useful for both cutting & thrusting. This weapon is often used in conjunction with the dagger. You can apply the Weapon Finesse feat to the side-sword even though it is not a light weapon. This weapon is added to the list of bard, drow & rogue weapon proficiencies.
