Kama

I do very much enjoy this weapon. They are cool.
It's simple, versatile, and easy to design/mold.

One could go with a more traditional styled kamas:

Or try to make it appear more modern, such as these:

It all depends on who you are trying to appeal, the traditional Kamas would work very well in a set or wave of ninja styled
weapons. But that would require Will looking into other traditional Japanese weapons such as kusarigama, shuriken, and
the infamous nunchaka.

The advantage of the more modern Kama is that they would blend in more with other of Will's Creations. Such as the tactical
sword, which has a resemblance to the ninjato, a straight-bladed ninja sword.

I could be a jerk and complain that this looks too much like the LEGO climbing axe, but I won't because I think a Kama (especially a more traditional one) would look awesome and quite different with the handle extending along the width of the blade. It would also add more far east presence to the BA lineup since the Naginata and Nunchucks protos and Tactical Sword seem to stand apart.

Bogey's right, the bottom one basically looks like a climbing axe. And that first one just looks like a scythe blade on a shorter rod.

Agreed. Short Scythe or Pick Axe. Nothin' mor'.

I like it it would be a great edition to the line up, because if its made i could be used as a sythe thus it has mutiple use.

Not quite what I said, but whatever. I think the traditional kama would make a good accessory for minifigs since a TLC scythe would be too big, a TLC climbing axe has a thicker serrated blade which doesn't give the same appearance of traditional elegance or sleekness, and even if you cut off the back of a TLC pick-axe, you're still left with a clunky looking square attaching the blade to the handle.
