Actually you never see the top of Escanor's weapon in the manga. First king's body blocks it, then the light blocks it. Also, Ban's three-sectioned staff, Meliodas' sword, and Escanor's axe are incredibly detailed. I doubt that the animators would waste so much time creating completely new weapons that won't ever be in the show for the characters. Also Ban has never once used a weapon that couldn't bend. His back-story has a three sectioned staff, he later used a whip, and now out of all the weapons he could choose from he picked a three sectioned staff to use. I'm guessing that's the weapon that he's the most familiar with. So yeah I'm going to take the anime as proof unless I see differently in the manga.
