No, it's "The Scythe". And it looks (to me) like long stake with a
bladed hand-guard.
In any case, I found this to be interesting:
<quote>
Urkonn on the Final Battle
Urkonn (Fray's guide, a strange goat-demon thingy) takes this
opportunity to fill Mel in on the history of demons, vampires, and the
Slayer. As Urkonn tells her, "There was once on this earth a thing
called magic. There were demons, monsters beyond imagination, most of
them pure evil." Then as humans evolved, most of these demons left this
earth for other dimensions. Others stayed - some lived in seclusion,
some assimilated into human culture, and others infected the humans who
had come to populate the earth...
"It is not known when they first appeared, but the vampires were a
plague.
The elders of several villages met, calling for action.
They invoked the strongest and most dangerous magicks they could summon,
to create a power.
A power that could fight the vampires.
A power that lived... in the body of a girl."
After some intervening action, during which Melaka is injured, Urkonn
continues the history lesson, some of which might be of particular
interest to Buffy fans...
Melaka: Good. Good. Tell me aboud the Slayers while I beed to deff. Dey
made dat first one...
Urkonn: She fought, and died, and was succeeded by another, throughout
time. Always a woman. Always a warrior... They were trained. Sought out
and guided by Watchers, descendants of the shamans who created the First
Slayer.
Melaka: ... Why don't you tell me what happened to the last one?
Urkonn: Because I don't know. It was some hundreds of years ago, in the
twenty-first century. What we do know is this -- there was a battle. A
Slayer, possibly with mystical allies, faced an apocalyptic army of
demons...
...and when it was done, they were all gone. All demons, all magicks,
banished from this earthly dimension.
Melaka: And the Slayer? Did she...
Urkonn: I do not know if she lived. But, the demons being gone, she was
the last to be called. The line continued - there were girls with the
power, but they were never called, never trained. Which may be why you
have no memory of your heritage. The Council of Watchers fell to ruin,
held together only by fanatics and fools. You met your Watcher
yesterday.
Melaka: I did? I didn't!
Urkonn: Did not one come to you, call you the chosen one?
Melaka: Nobody ever called me any oh my god you mean that guy that one
that set himself on fire!
Urkonn: As I said, fanatics.
Melaka: But he set himself on fire!
Urkonn: Centuries of useless, obsessive waiting. Makes a human--
Melaka: He set himself on fire!
Urkonn: Maybe he was cold.
Melaka: Okay, I'm supposed to fight the coming onslaught of lurks and
I'm being taught by a sarcastic goat-thing whose idea of training is
throwing scrap metal at me because the actual good guys all went crazy
waiting for the monsters to come back.
Urkonn: Yes.
Melaka: Just checking.
Urkonn: Do not discount the Watchers completely.
Melaka: Right, 'cause if we need someone to light themselves on fire...
Urkonn: They're insane, I grant. But they were also right.
Fray's Weapon
In issue #6, Fray's guide, Urkonn, gives her a scythe, a mystical weapon
said to have been "for the slayer alone." It is through accepting and
weilding this scythe that Melaka finale accepts her destiny. She is the
chosen one. Urkonn says when he gives it to her:
"It is a weapon. Forged eons ago for the Slayer alone. Lost for
centuries. Carry it, for it is your sword and your scepter. Let it
proclaim you the hero - and the monster - that you will need to be. Make
your war."

John Iwaniszek
Maybe to some Hollywood weanie who has never seen, much less wielded, an
axe.
I say that if she takes a two handed grip on the long poley thing and
swings it, hitting her target with the sharp edge of the flat metally
thing, then it is an axe.

Well, it's shaped like an Axe (and therefore looks like), but it also
looks like it could be used both ways, 'Axe' mode and 'Pointy stake with
hand guard' mode. I think it's a pretty cool tool for a Slayer.

Not so much unwieldy as ineffective. It can poke and swipe but it has
no ability to do damage at a distance. You have to get close in to use
the blade which could be dangerous. It would be better to be able to
swipe (at a neck, a hamstring, etc.), surprise and incapcitate with that
and then move in with the stake.
Held as an axe (swipe, swipe, swipe) then turn around and stake seems
a better use.

Not to be a dork or anything, but the "axe" which is also called a "scythe"
is actually a halberd.

I would say "Axe", but that would be repetitious.
It is halberb-like. Probably the thing it is most unlike is a scythe.
You can bet the wankers are picking themselves up off the floor after

seeing an ax called "The Scythe". It will be years before any of them
refer to a real axe with the correct terminology. Longer still for

There is a farmer over in Pomfret who has one of his hay fields custom

It's pretty neat to watch.

John Iwaniszek
Is it just to torture the Amish?
Rural Knight
Actually, they hire out to do this kind of thing. They have a condition
though. You have to provide two meals (depending on when they arrive,
could be breakfast, lunch dinner or a combination) or the ingredients.
They arrive in a couple of busses, hop off and get to work. They usually
are finished with the field in about 10 hours.
It is very interesting to watch. You could put a laser level on the cut
field it's that even. All the hay is cut long and lies in perfect rows.
It is a very nifty thing. I'll get some pictures this summer.
