Nobody Ever Fought With One of These

The scythe has no military history at all. No scythe-armed regiments, no fencing manual, no forge tradition — a scythe is a farming tool with the blade set at ninety degrees to the swing, which is exactly the wrong angle for hitting a person. Everything on this shelf descends from a single piece of iconography: late-medieval Europe, plague years, an artist who needed to draw death harvesting people and reached for the tool that harvests wheat. Six hundred years later, designers are still redrawing that one picture. Which is why scythes look the way they do — they were built to mean something long before anyone tried to make them work.

Where to Start

Pick by tone, because these four don't agree on what a scythe is for. The two heaviest come from the Outlands Heirloom Vault, where a scythe is industrial equipment — hinged, bolted, more machine than farm tool, and by some distance the most metal on this shelf. The Teyvat Armory takes the opposite reading: ornament first, a crescent that happens to have an edge. And the one from the Longinus Lance Vault was never given an official name at all, which somehow suits it.

The Forge Standard

Every piece here is die-cast zinc alloy, poured solid and hand-finished, with every edge cast blunt — display collectibles, recommended for ages 14+. Scythes are the hardest shape we photograph: the blade throws the silhouette sideways, so half the piece is empty air. Every photo on this page is ours, shot in our own studio, of the exact piece we ship. No CGI, no renders, no supplier images.

Keep Exploring

The nearest relatives are both long-handled: the halberd shelf for the ones that kept a straight edge on the end, and the polearm row for everything that points forward instead of curving away.

FAQ: Metal Scythe Replicas

Asked by collectors, answered by the makers.

What are these replicas made of?

Solid die-cast zinc alloy, one pour per piece, hand-finished, with every edge cast blunt. Real metal weight — 30–163 g (1.1–5.7 oz) across four pieces, which is the widest spread on any shelf this size in the shop: the heaviest scythe here is more than five times the lightest. The exact grams for each piece live on its product page.

Are the blades sharp?

No — every edge and point is cast blunt straight from the mold. These are solid die-cast display collectibles, not functional weapons, recommended for ages 14+.

What sizes and prices are in this collection?

Pieces run 15–30 cm (5.9–11.8 in) — one of them is twice the length of another, which is unusual for a single weapon class. Prices start at $19.99 and rise with length, with display stands adding $2 to $4 depending on style.

Why are there only a few of these?

Because there aren't many good ones to make. Scythes are rare in games and rarer still with a name attached — most of the ones you can think of belong to a boss you fight once, and several were never given an official name at all. We'd rather keep a short shelf of pieces worth photographing than pad it out. When a new one is worth casting, it lands here.

Is this an officially licensed collection?

No — and we say so on our own page. These are unofficial fan-art collectibles from a two-person studio, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by any game, anime, or film company. There's no official packaging or certificate, because there isn't one to give you.
