Actually, as written, a fullblade is a blade of certain length and handedness. Thus the default fullblade is two handed weapon for a medium creature, or "medium". To make it Huge you would need Money grip and Enlarge person. This is one of 3.0 to 3.5 rulechanges most of you seem to be getting wrong.
Its the same reason wedge's guy cant wield a greatclub one handed using monkey grip- thats not what monkey grip does anymore. Instead, he can wield any one handed weapon as would be appropriate for a large creature, not any two-handed or in 3.0 terms Large weapons.
The difference.
3.0- Wedge takes Monkey Grip to wield Large weapons, as though they were medium weapons, chooses to use a greatclub in one hand.
3.5- Wedge decides to take Monkey grip which allows him to wield larger versions of one handed weapons. He cannot wield a greatclub in one hand, as it is a two-handed weapon. Instead, he may wield a warhammer suitable for a Large creature, which incidentally is actually a much better weapon. (2d6, x3 criticals)
For all intents and purposes, a fullblade is huge. Heck, I'm pretty sure there's a weapon templating rule that lets you remake the fullblade *exactly* as it is on 3.5, but I preferred to use the A&EG version because I'm lazy.
But yes, that explanation of Monkey Grip is good anyways.
