Dayne, no. The head of the weapon is the same axe I showed you before. You extend the blade forward and push out the button part of it. You mount it ontop of a pole. It uses a very traditional axe head from japan as the base, alternatively you could use the general term of a bearded axe. To further expand upon why it's not a scythe, the blade of a scythe is on the inside part of the curve. As we can clearly see from the weapon, the blade is not there at all. There is infact, no blade on the inner part of the curve. That would instantly disqualify it as a scythe. It is impossible for it to be a scythe. Categorically, it is impossible for the weapon or tool to be in the category of a scythe. It has a standard pole as a handle. That makes it a polearm, not a scythe. Much the same way a spear isn't a scythe, a halberd isn't a scythe, a glaive isn't a scythe, a guisame isn't a scythe, a lance isn't a scythe, a bardiche isn't a scythe, pudao isn't a scythe, a naginata isn't a scythe, a pollaxe isn't a scythe, and so forth and so on. The parts of the weapon put it into the category of an axe. The design of the blade, puts it into the category of an axe. I assume, you can see that the blade is indeed an axe. The long pole puts it into the category of a polearm. So you have a polearm with an axe. A poleaxe. For some instances of it, we can look at the bardiche, which is a long poleaxe. Now you take that traditional japanese axe or a bearded axe, fit it onto it, with the correct porportions, and you have a very similar weapon. Now push out the bottom half of it, and you're done.

Harostar, no. The weapon is suppose to be an axe. The only stylized things in fantasy and fictional portrayals are axes, commonly used in modern fantasy by executioners or headhunters. Further emphasized by the fact he is frequently depicted taking people's heads clean off, which is what an executioner does in theory. There is not a singular instance of a scythe bearing any similarities to the weapon he uses, but there are plenty of axes that bear similar asthetics.

So I say again, it is not a scythe. It is as a weapon or tool, impossible to be a scythe. It an axe. It is obviously an axe. The form is clearly an axe. That is why I changed it originally.
