The fist-scythe is a brawling weapon resembling an elongated sickle blade more so than a scythe. The fist-scythe is commonly produced with a thickening of the blade towards the point, resulting in a less nimble weapon, but one which packs a more effective impact for its size. Constructed in this way, the weight distribution necessitates a fighting style which employs more chopping-style attacks and can result in either a cutting action from the blade's leading edge, or a stabbing impact if the point of the weapon is brought to bear.

One of the most ubiquitous of all brawling weapons, the fist-scythe is a highly favored choice among brawlers because of its versatility and effectiveness.
