pretty much agtree with you there; idk why kama is even considered a sword, it's a sickle thus like a scythe tho scythe are 2handed, yet to use the kama's slashing damage you go to be quite in close range. it's more likely to be pierce damage and tearing cut afterward.

But I think the point of category isn't about is it slashing or not, but the final result of damage: piercing damage are damage the litterally impale and weakenning the target while slashing are making gruesome superficial would that cause to loose alot of blood over a short lapse of time, thus kama do slashing damage unlike a rapier that cannot really produce alot of slashing and should produce mostly piercing damage.
