Thank you for your response Peter.

I do appreciate your clarification of my understanding of the scythe as a weapon.

I believe that what we can see on the anvil is a billet and it appears to be being forged out to a different dimension, so perhaps what the smith is working on is intended for use in mounting the already modified blade to shaft, I cannot see how it relates to the modification of the blade, but it might relate to the mounting of the blade.
