The Scottish Handshake 1 - 100 Your enemies will think you're making peace, right up until the terrifying moment that their hand is very seriously cut! Here's the trick: It's a broken bottle!

“

Imagine if I hadn't been drunk! Ah heh. Click to listen — The Demoman

”

The Scottish Handshake is a community-made melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a dark brown glass rum bottle, apparently made by the Demoman's DeGroot family ancestors in 1680.

This weapon functions in exactly the same way as the Bottle, although it does not shatter after a successful critical hit.

The Scottish Handshake's original name was "Scotland Shard". It was later contributed to the Steam Workshop after it was released, on Valve's request.

The backpack icon was contributed by Template:Steam profile link

Trivia

• The term "Scottish Handshake" refers to the stereotype that a person of Scottish heritage greets people with physical assault, due to their stereotypical violent nature.
• The year the rum was supposedly made, 1680, was chosen because it was the year the notorious pirate Template:W was born.
• The set was originally showcased in the Medieval Update, together with the rest of Swashbuckler's Swag set.
• One of the picture at the main menu shows the Demoman welding a broken Scottish Handshake, even though you can't break the bottle ingame.
