Information on the Scythe NEEDED! For College

[willowswarlok]

Hey All
i need as much information on the scythe as i can get. Who made it? When? Why? Does it have a name? I don’t know… a credit report?

Seriously guys. i need piece amounts, how many left or whatever, company information ( i think they went out of business right ) as much as i can get.

I also know this is a long shot. I need technical size calculations of the scythe. Blade size from point to point, size from blade to grip that sort of stuff, i know this is unlikely that anyone will do this for me but i figure this way, it would be more accurate. otherwise ill have to use the 1/12 scythe as a reference (which cant really be that accurate)

im just asking for basic dimensions. If anyone can help me out, PLEASE post here or PM me, its very important. its part of a college project

Thanks in advance
Wayne

Well the replica was manufactured by Factory X, who have since gone out of business. DST has the replica license now, but will not be doing the Scythe because according to Chuck, "There are still a good number of Factory X Scythes in warehouses". I myself do not have one.

Some of the info is in the description (although you probly saw this already, figured I'd post it in case you hadn't)

Buffy looks on in awe at the blade imbedded in the rock and, to her surprise, she is able to pull the weapon forth. As beautiful as it is deadly, the weapon poses a number of questions for Giles and Willow, who can find no mention of it’s origins and only know that it instills Buffy with a sense of great power. Only later, in a torch-lit tomb, does Buffy learn from a mysterious old woman that what she pulled form the stone is "A weapon... a scythe. Forged in secrecy for one” … to defeat the last pure demon who walked the earth. The old Guardian continues saying, "One way or another, it can only mean an end, is truly near..."

Now, Factory X adds the most anticipated Buffy the Vampire Slayer prop replica ever made to its line of fast-selling Buffy products. The Slayer’s Scythe was made using Joss Whedon’s personal souvenir prop scythe as reference. It is 37 inches long and 11 pounds. The blade is cast zinc with a blood-red coating, and the ostrich skin style handle wrap and the wooden stake, are all accurate to the prop. The Slayer’s Scythe comes with a display plaque.

Actual product may vary from pictured prototype.

Safety warning, this is not a toy but a REAL scythe replica. Handle with care, Not intended for children.

From tip to tip it's 36 inches long. Not including the extension of the blade at the top, the main length is 32 inches. The blade itsef is 15 3/4 inches long. At its widest point (blade and handle), it's 8 inches wide. The stake portion is 8 3/4 inches long. I don't have any weights, since I don't have a scale. Hope this helps.
