Scythe
Scythes are horrendously terrible weapons in real life--due to the blade curving inward, they tend to miss A LOT. The only real way to ensure hitting with a Scythe is to widely swing in so that it slices on the inside when you bring it back in. However, actually doing this is terrible for your balance. In addition, if the scythe gets stuck in the enemy, you basically can't get it out without applying enough force to brutally bisect the enemy.
Bottom line, Sycthes look cool but are awful weapons in reality. They were built for farming, not fighting.
Try and guess what arguably one of the world's first spies were before they became the awesomeness that was Shinobis ^_^
Guess what ONE of their underrated trademark weapon was? I'll give you a hint: Koei's Samurai Warrior's Hanzo Hattori
Let me give you another hand: http://www.entertheninja.com/fact_weapons.php
Awesome? Yes. Ground in reality? ALSO yes.
TL;DR what farming tools? Look at CSI: you get some of the weirdest murder weapons in existence.
