In principle sure (in fact, that's presumably what Sw/Imp on the scythe weapon is supposed to represent). Just unlikely to actually work. One of the issues with the way GURPS handles weapons is that there's no way of representing different weapons within the same basic class being harder to use than others, and even for weapons of different type, the E/A/H/VH skill distribution doesn't really have enough range.
