not quite sure i agree with you, my boss is a Third Degree Black Belt, and she's a fairly accomplished Kama user, who's also not bad with a Scythe, and the advantage with a Scythe requires the user to constantly be in motion, furiously twirling the blade so that you maintain momentum and power, it'd be pretty hard to get a solid hot on the shaft of the scythe at proper speeds

At the very very very best case for the Scyther, they end up with an improvised Kama, but kamas were not even that great of weapons in the first place, not to mention it's very unikely a Scythe user will be just as experienced in using a Kama, given the weapons are designed to be used in completely different ways.
