Is this considered an edged weapon?

Would be the only way to get that out of the scabbard; otherwise the scabbard would have to be as wide as the L-shaped bottom part of the blade.

Most agricultural tools can and have been used as weapons; when the Japanese banned weapons in Okinawa sickles and flails for separating rice from its hull became very effective weapons, and that's only one example.

Or, as one of my cousins said of a particularly nasty-looking Italian 'agricultural' chopper, "Quello non fa cilecca" (That one doesn't mis-fire!)
