I was watching a show and monks could use these things called the twin hooks http://www.karatedepot.com/sites/karatedepot/images/items/large/wp-sw-90.jpg
and under the list that i have at wizard.com(3.5 version) it doesnt say they can use swords, and i was wondering if there are some exceptions or is it just a DM ruleing or something.

Monks in 3.x generally aren't proficient with swords and such. However, there's a feat in some sourcebook that lets a Monk wield a longsword as if it were a monk weapon. Also, for the hook swords you mention, they're probably Exotic Weapons that a Monk could take a feat to become proficient with.

I would cald this things one handed martial weapon - only 1d6/ x2, but with bonuses both to disarming enemy and avoiding being disarmed. And with trip attacks.
And it's still sword-like, so not for D&D monks.

Hook swords are in Secrets of Sarlona. Exotic weapons, you can hook them together and use them are reach weapons.

That would be from the Eberron Campaign Setting. It has several feats that allow monks to use certain martial weapons as monk weapons.
