I don't have an official source, because the question has never been asked. I say that, because they look identical. Much the same way you know a sword is a sword. It's because it looks identical to a sword. Here is a picture of a scythe for reference. Everything that is a scythe is based off of this shape.

There is no way for it to be a scythe. The literal only thing it has in common with a scythe is that there is a shaft and a blade. Most weapons have a shaft and a blade. The weapon is an oversized fantasy axe. The only thing that differs between the japanese ono and jason is the proportions and the ridge.

It's an axe.
