This is what the glow-in-the-dark scythe looks like

• The blade is off-white and glows green-white in the dark after charging in daylight or lamplight.
• The handle is matte black and consists of three screwable parts, so the scythe fits compactly in the packaging.
• The material is PVC, making the scythe lightweight.
• The total length is approximately 93 cm, more than enough to carry it upright beside you.
• It is suitable for women, men, boys, and girls.

The scythe as a symbol of death

The scythe belongs to the classic image of death as a hooded figure, which you encounter everywhere on Halloween on cards, decorations, and costumes. Originally, the scythe was simply an agricultural tool for harvesting grain, and precisely that harvest symbolism made it the attribute of death. The glow-in-the-dark effect works with a phosphorescent layer: the longer the blade has been in the light, the brighter and longer it glows afterwards. So place the scythe under a lamp for a while before leaving the house.

What outfit calls for a glowing scythe?

This scythe works best with a dark, hooded costume: a black cape or cloak with a hood, black gloves, and a skull mask or white face paint. Because only the blade lights up, it looks in a dim room as if the scythe is floating next to a silhouette in black. Whether you are walking in a parade or going door-to-door one evening, hold the handle with two hands and set the blade slightly back, so you don't hit anyone in the crowd.
