At least she's holding the Scythe:

BUFFY: (re scythe) Do you see this? This may actually help me fight my war. This might be the key to everything. And the reason I'm holding it is because of you. Because of the strength that you gave me last night.

They can have their rings and crosses---I think we got the best memento. The scythe is even featured in Joss's futuristic slayer story FRAY, if I'm not mistaken.

Also, I have a hard time thinking anything as canon if certain characters can't even be mentioned.

I've never understood why Whedon calls it a "scythe," though. A scythe has a long, narrow, c-shaped blade with a long handle. It's that thing the Grim Reaper carries. (A scythe with a short handle is called a sickle.) Buffy's weapon could be considered an axe or a hatchet, but it doesn't come within a thousand miles of being a scythe!

Yes, a scythe is one of those things that the grim reaper carries around.. (Right?) I live around farms but a stay clear of axes and scythes.
