War Scythe

What is War Scythe

There is a type of polearm known as a war scythe or military scythe. This type of polearm has a single-edged blade that curves inward and has the cutting edge on the concave side of the blade. The war scythe is a purpose-built infantry combat weapon that retains a superficial resemblance to the blade of an agricultural scythe, from which it is assumed to have evolved. However, the war scythe is completely unconnected to agricultural tools and is a weapon that was designed specifically for use by soldiers. In addition to having flats that are proportioned in a regular manner, the blade of a war scythe has a thickness that is comparable to that of a spear or sword blade, and it has a tiny curve along its edge as it narrows toward its point. There is a distinction between this and farming scythes, which have blades that are extremely thin and unevenly bent. These blades are designed specifically for cutting grass and wheat, and thus are not appropriate for use as blades for improvised spears or polearms.
