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 .

- Like the Eyelander, this weapon still has blood on it in the censored version of Team Fortress 2, whereas the Ubersaw and Axtinguisher are clean and bloodless.
- NeoDement submitted a custom taunt animation for the Scotsman's Skullcutter, which has not been implemented.
