Am I reading this wrong

ITL LE says, on pg 123, "A person who has the Master Armourer talent can make a sword, polearm, hammer, mace, or ax (but no other weapon) so well that it does extra damage, or effectively increases its user’s DX, or both. A dagger may do extra damage, but not increase DX. This is not magic – just very good craftsmanship. A weapon could have bonuses both for being well-made and for magic, if it was made carefully and then enchanted. Good workmanship can give a weapon such good balance that its user gets +1 DX (never more than +1). A cutting weapon can also be made of such good metal that it does either 1 or 2 extra hits of damage."

It seems to say, to me at least, that a hammer or mace can be made so well that it can have a bonus for DX and Damage, but the last sentence says that cutting weapons are the only ones that can get a damage bonus. A hammer or mace do not seem to fit. Which one is it?
