I don't have a degree, learning about history is just one of my many hobbies.

It's an axe because it uses an axe's head. The style of axe is a bearded axe like what is portrayed in numerous fantasy depictions of bearded axes. An ono(the japanese word for axe) is a bearded axe with a very similar head to it. Given it's place of origin, it was most likely what the axe head was modeled after.

It can't be a lucerne hammer because it's not a bludgeoning weapon. A lucerne hammer also has 3 different methods of using it, a spear, a hook, and a hammer. This lacks the ability to use it as anything other than an axe.

So far, not a singular person has been able to supply a singular picture of a singular scythe that remotely resembles this axe, very less anything in a reasonable quantity to debate over. I understand, you want to call it a scythe because it sounds cool. You can't use it as a scythe because of the cutting surface in relation to the handle.

Also, as far as I recall almost all melee weapons were pretty close matches to other fantasy weapons or historical weapons. I'm not apply strict categorization here, the term of scythe is incorrect and the term of axe is correct. A scythe is not an axe. If you want to debate of what specific form of axe it is in terms of historical classification I'm willing to have that debate.
