Her sword in IX is a blunt-edged sword used for smashing instead of slashing, so her Hammer Combat skill still applies to it.

Despite its name, Hammer Combat skill allows for a person to be talented with any kind of weapon that relies on smashing, including large swords and axes.

Even if that wasn't the case (which it is), it's not at all uncommon for a character to fight with a weapon that they don't have a skill in.
