Scythe

Not normally considered a tool of war, the scythe is a common farm implement, often used for harvesting crops such as wheat. Thus they are often found on farms, like in Paws. However, when pressed into service as a weapon, it can be extremely effective, although its use requires two hands. It appears in Martian Dreams, Ultima VII, Ultima VII Part Two and Ultima IX.

In the time of Ultima IX, scythes were once again employed as powerful weapons.
