Crescent Blade? Favored weapon for a deity of the moon/stars/etc.

[Yogibear41]

Is there anything like a crescent blade in dnd 3.5?

I am trying to find something that will thematically fit a deity that is involved with stars/moons and thought something like this would fit well for its favored weapon. To represent a crescent moon type symbol. It also needs to be something that was actually historically used somewhere and not some make-believe video game weapon that has no way of actually being used effectively in combat.

I have considered axes(with a halfmoon/crescent design), a heavy sickle or scimitars as well. Really want to stick with something that it not an exotic weapon, since to my knowledge most deities do not have exotic weapons as their favored weapons. Would also like it to be something a fighter type would actually want to use and not some crappy 1d6 20/x2 light weapon.

Dragon Magazine/Dungeon Magazine/3rd party sources are fine.

Thanks for the help.

I'm big on the scythe. I've run a few campaigns with a three part moon goddess. One piece favored the sickle, another the scimitar, and the third favored the scythe.

An axe does sound like an appropriate choice. Failing that, I'm sure someone somewhere translated the spetum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spetum) or bardiche (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bardiche) to D&D 3.5. If you have Oriental Adventures the lajatang might be an option.

Why not a chakram? They were real weapons, and perfectly fit a full-moon theme!

I've seen Dragonheart 3 use the sickle as a moon-thing. The crescent blade is a weapon in one of the older 3.0 dragon mags. D3 or d4, but every time you attack with it, you get 2 attack rolls. So double sneak attack 'per attack action.'
