Revision as of 10:18, 21 December 2010

Right about now you must be wondering how in God's name you're supposed to pronounce Claidheamohmor. The answer: you don't! If you're remotely near one you'll be dead long before you're done injuring your vocal chords anyway!
Fancy vs. Nasty Update description

The Claidheamohmor is a melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a Template:W like the Eyelander that has a crossguard with side rings, a red and green Template:W wrapped around the grip and a blood-spattered blade. Like the Eyelander, the Claidheamohmor also has a large melee range.

The weapon was originally created for the Fancy vs. Nasty Update and has since been officially added to the game.
