Glaives, Guandaos & War Scythes The reach of a polearm with the cutting power of a sword. The concept simple enough, by combining the long shaft of a spear with a broad blade, like that of a cutlass, offered reach and deadly force. It took the shape of a European Glaive, a Chinese Guandao, or an improvised War Scythe, the goal is the same. These aren't just for poking; they are designed for slashing.

It is built for characters inspired by Eastern history or heavy infantry who want a weapon that commands respect just by the look of it. The War Scythe: The symbol of rebellion. Historically, these
