A post mostly to get my post count up to 667 from the devil's address, but a valid idea nonetheless.
Since those fancy pseudo-ripper blades were revealed to be in production, it's gotten my creative (and practical) juices flowing. The result of my week-long subconscious brainstorming session has led me to something so crazy, it could just work.
Saber-scythes. And I'm not just talking a war scythe (we have a saber variant, it's called a saber pike), I'm talking full fledged, in your face, RWBY-Soul-Eater-Grim-Reaper SCYTHES. How awesome would that be to show up to a friendly saber sparring session and you bust out a full-size lightsaber scythe ready to reap the hopes of your buddies?
Thoughts! (I also include saber-kamas in this discussion, as well, as they'd be made using a normal saber hilt and those new fantasy blades).
