This weapon first appears as a sickle in [[Alastair]]'s possession<ref>[[4.15 Death Takes a Holiday]]</ref> He claimed claims that [[Death]], an old friend, lent it to him. According to [[Crowley]], this scythe can kill [[reaper]]s, [[demon]]s , and [[angel]]s<ref>[[5.21 Two Minutes to Midnight]]</ref> Crowley also told tells [[Dean]] and [[Sam]] that according to current rumors, this weapon can kill Death. This is confirmed when Dean uses the scythe on Death to protect Sam. The scythe crumbles to dust with its master afterwards.

[[Crowley]] gives [[Dean]] the scythe before the two go to Chicago to find [[Death]], telling him it is believed to be capable of killing Death himself. How Crowley got it is unclear - ; the last time we saw the scythe, [[Alastair]] was using it to kill [[reaper]]s before he was captured by [[angel]]s. Armed with the scythe, [[Dean]] nervously tries to ambush Death in a Chicago pizzeria, but the handle begins to burn in Death's proximity and Dean drops it. [[Death]] thanks him for returning the scythe, which moves from its position on the floor beside Dean to lying on the table near Death's right hand without [[Dean]] seeing it move.

After Dean is ready to kill Sam, [[Death]] gives him his scythe to do the job. At the last moment, Dean turns the scythe on Death himself, impaling him through the side, and killing him. When Death crumbles to dust, so does his scythe.
