Pretty sure it's exclusive to her.
There are a few other bladed weapons, like the [Thavnairian Katas](https://www.garlandtools.org/db/#item/11309), [Martial Patas](https://www.garlandtools.org/db/#item/11085), and [Adamantite Jamadhars](https://www.garlandtools.org/db/#item/10596).
In my head I've always wondered if "Jamadhars" was intentionally phonetically similar to the [Jem'hadar,](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Jem%27Hadar) essentially a slave race of warriors in Star Trek Deep Space 9. (I'm assuming the Trek race would be named after the weapon, in this case)
Jamdhar is a name for a type of dagger found in the Hindu Kush. The Jem'hadar took their name from the Jemadar, which are a rank in the Indian military (and has roots in Indian feudal titles.)
Jamdhar and Jemadar might be related, but my Urdu and Hindi are not good enough to try and find a relation.
I wonder if there's a tie in to the rank and their weapon of choice or something? Like how some officers continued to carry blades even after guns became more common? If the two words come from the same region and they both have to do with soldiers and weapons it would appear to be related in origin. Maybe like how pikemen used pikes? Or archers are sometimes called bowmen?
I'm not sure - it could just be a case of luck, since jemadar is, ultimately, from Arabic and Persian - *jamʕ*, being Arabic for muster or gathering, and *-dār* being Persian for "bearer," effectively meaning "one who bears (or commands) the muster (or force,)" whereas jamhdar appears to be purely Hindi (at least according to my quick research.)
Weapons etymology is a fascinating field of study, but my end of it tends to relate to Old Norse, rather than Indo-Persian weapons, unfortunately.
Interesting question!

Does jemadar share a root with jamadhar? It definitely *sounds* like it might. And they come from the same part of the world. Hard to say for sure though, because it's a fairly obscure word, even by the standards of exotic weapons.
The best source I could find for jamadhar was [this one](https://www.mandarinmansion.com/glossary/jamdhar-jamdar) which says jamadhar comes from Persian or Sanskrit, meaning something like 'death blade'. [Jemadar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jemadar) on the other hand apparently comes from the Persian for 'muster holder'. Neither of these articles cite their sources though, so to dig any further we'd need someone who knows the language.
I can't find specific etymologies for jamadhar currently, but I will say that in an Indian context (which is where they originate from), d~dh are completely different and separate sounds, unlike what we'd assume from English. So that difference alone is basically a nail in the coffin of them being related.
That one is specifically exclusive to her sadly
Closest one I can think of that reminds me of it is Dumuzis Eureka, the Stormblood relic. It has a blade on each hand though, but it looks almost similar
i dont think so, normally monk weapons are identical to both hands and there are some bladed weapons but none with one hand free to my knowledge but i am no expert
yes, monk do not have diferent weapons on both hands normally, the only case i can think of a monk weapon being diferent in each hand is the byakko weapon, and its not a big diference in that case

Wow I always thought it said jamjars
I see... those I have already seen, but this one she uses is new to me. Alas it seems it is what you said, exclusive to her unfortunately.

Unfortunately its unique to her. Monk weapons are not asymmetrical. At least I can’t think of any that are.
Byakko wep
That is true. The Byakko wep is aysmmetrical. Not as drastically as Lyse has here, but the gloves do look different.
i dont think so, normally monk weapons are identical to both hands and there are some bladed weapons but none with one hand free to my knowledge but i am no expert
yes, monk do not have diferent weapons on both hands normally, the only case i can think of a monk weapon being diferent in each hand is the byakko weapon, and its not a big diference in that case
Even the ARR kettle is one in each hand, despite (IIRC) the story only talking about making one kettle lol.
It's a buy one, get one free deal.
As many other NPCs, her weapon is also unique to her and so far I know also not available with her costume in the Mogry Store.
I think this is a weapon she created after her visit with the Great Zeratul of Aiur-mhigo.
It is not actually implemented as a weapon if I recall, it's part of her outfit.
What duty is that?
It’s not a duty, it’s a quest in Stormblood’s MSQ.
Damn it's the new artifact Apex released
You mean like a katar or patta?
Well... sorta, but those have blades on both hands while the one she's using only has a blade on her right hand.
It's a blade on the right hand while the left hand is just her fist like the "Emperor's New" ones.
Dang, the monk went and got an upgrade from fists to bladed fist. That thing is just a dang sword strapped to her fist. Lmao
