Honestly, neither weapon really fits the Washing Pole's looks, mostly due to the short grip. It seems like the only purpose the grip serves is to make the blade unwieldy without providing any actual benefit, so it's safe to assume that this isn't an actual weapon, but rather the result of inspiration from a weapon similar to it. Alternatively, it could just be a super-sized katana they made up from scratch because they wanted more large dex weapons.
