Easy, just bend it 90 degree an-

I jest. :)

Seriously though, couldn't you basically stab someone with the scythe by swinging it like an impractically huge and weird-balanced pick with the added bonus of being able to 'hook' someone with it.

Aside of the deadliness if you actually do nail a hit, a staff would probably be more useful in an actual fight though, especially if your opponent is also armed.
