The '''Scotsman's Skullcutter''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Weapons#demomanmelee|melee weapon]] for the [[Demoman]]. It is a bloodied double-bevelled battle-axe with a wooden shaft and spiked crossguard.
 
  
Like the [[Eyelander]], this weapon has a large melee range and will decapitate enemies. It does not collect heads, though, so it does not provide additional [[health]] or [[speed]] when it kills an enemy player. Instead, it deals 20% more [[damage]] and can deal random [[critical hits]]. A single critical hit will kill any [[class]] that isn't [[overheal]]ed, excluding the [[Heavy]].
+
{{Quotation|'''The Demoman''' to the beheaded Soldier|Hey, Private Haircut... I might o' taken a bit too much off... '''YOUR HEAD'''!|sound=Demoman dominationsoldier03.wav}}
  
As the axe appears to have considerable weight, it will slow the Demoman down from 280 [[Hammer unit|units]]/second, 93% of normal speed, to 238 units/second, 78% of normal speed. This is 8 units/second faster than a Heavy and 2 units/second slower than a [[Soldier]], making him the second slowest class while the weapon is equipped.

The Demoman to the beheaded Soldier

The Scotsman's Skullcutter is a community-created melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a bloodied double-bit battle-axe with a wooden shaft and spiked crossguard.

The Scotsman's Skullcutter bears similarities to the Demoman's swords, with 50% increased melee range and 75% slower deploy/holster speeds.[1] Unlike the swords, it does not have random critical hits disabled, meaning that it does not require a shield in order to deal critical hits. In addition, it deals 20% more damage than the Bottle. A single critical hit can kill any class that is not overhealed, excluding the Heavy.

While the weapon is active, it slows the Demoman down from 280 Hammer units/second (93% of normal speed) to 238 units/second (79% of normal speed). This is 8 units/second faster than a Heavy and 2 units/second slower than a Soldier, making him the second slowest class while the weapon is active.

The kill icon for the Scotsman's Skullcutter was contributed by NeoDement .
