I'm gonna pass a hard no on the weapon for a myroad og reasons:

1. Even if the blades reverse to face the same way in dpu le bladed scytge form, allowing you to swing it safely, you've just removed your ability to do any wide sweeping attacks with the blades and your ability to use momentum to help slice anything apart. You've made it a worse weapon, even if it is safer.

2. The bow form basically puts the sharp edge of the blade facing you, meaning anyone can smack you in the face with your own weapon...and potentially cut your nose off.

3. Dual wielding polearms doesn't work. They're too unwieldly due to shaft length, and would basically reduce you to a 'swing with one blade, then when that attack is finished start an attack with the other scythe' style of fighting. That completely defeats the purpose of dual wielding anything, which is to be able to attack, defend, or do both with both weapons at the same time.
