Monks get to use their favorable unarmed attack rate (+7/+4/+1 instead of +7/+2, for example) with unarmed strikes and monk weapons (siangham, nunchaku, and kama); S&F adds to this list (hree-section staff, for example).
Check in Sword and Fist, and it'll tell you. If it doesn't mention anything about the bladed gauntlet using the monk unarmed attack bonus abilities, then it doesn't.
