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

This gnomish-made device looks like a longsword except only a foot of the blade remains. But when a button on the hilt pushed, the spring-loaded blade extends and locks into place. It is a free action to push the button. this sword also comes with a sheath about a foot long which also has a spring loaded feature (the button is loacated on the locket) this allows the blade to spring out and travel through the air for about 10 ft. To sheath the weapon, the button is pushed and must be forced into the sheath (or pressed against a hard surface). This is a full round action

The only way to craft this weapon is to be a gnome or be a person who has read the book of gnomes. the crafting DC is 21 due to the complicated mechanics
