Scythe
Here's my first attempt at a custom scythe. It is made of very thin plastic, so it can't be broken(it bends when pushed, though it is stiff), and it's not glued into the LS handle, but rather is tightly fitted. PLMKWYT!

What every well-dressed peasant should be sporting come harvest time! I've seen a number of large two-handed grim-reaper scythes MOC that work with a katana, but this is the first hand-scythe I've seen, Custom or MOC. A great idea!
I'd either make it as a one-piece that inserts into the LS handle, or I'd sandwich the blade between two pieces that went into the LS handle and glue those to the blade.
Be that as it may, just use some files or fine sandpaper and smooth out the shape a bit.

Very nice! This is the first time I've seen a hand scythe (a Lego one, that is), and I have to say that I like it a lot.
Though I'm not sure if the blade is quite right... I don't know if it's the shape, curve, or length, but it does seem a little off to me somehow.
Still, a very cool custom indeed.

TwoTonic Knight: Thanks. Actually, the 2 pieces are glued to each other, and there's only one on the one side. I was in a hurry when I made this, and I should have trimmed it better, as well as sanding. In fact, sanding it completely slipped my mind until you mentioned it. I'll probably be making another as soon as I get time in the next few days, and I'll be sure to do that on it.
Sir Smittens: Thanks. I actually cut it from the bottom of a disposable cup, so it's not actually 'carved' at all. I used an exacto knife to cut it though.
DoctorSparkles: Thanks, and yes, I'm not sure about the shape either. As I said, I was in a hurry, so I didn't research the design, but rather did it from memory. Also, since it was a small(very small) cup I cut it from, I was limited as to the amount of plastic I had to use. In fact, the scythe took up about 1/2 the of the cup's diameter. Next time I'm going to actually make sure I know what I'm doing.
