{{Quotation|'''The Demoman''' on common courtesy|I hope I didn't scare ya with my face-to-face MAN fighting!|sound=Demoman_dominationspy03.wav}}
 
  
The '''Scotsman's Skullcutter''' is a [[melee]] weapon for the [[Demoman]]. It appears as a bloodied battle-axe with a wooden shaft and spiked handguard.
+
{{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}}
  
This weapon functions similarly to the [[Eyelander]] in that it has a large melee range and will decapitate enemies. However, as it does not collect heads, it does not provide additional health or speed when an enemy player is killed. Instead it is able to deal 20% more damage and is able to receive random [[Critical hits]].  
+
The '''Scotsman's Skullcutter''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Weapons#demomanmelee|melee weapon]] for the [[Demoman]]. It is a bloodied double-bit battle-axe with a wooden shaft and spiked crossguard.
  
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 speed penalty also decreases the speed of a charge when used with the [[Chargin' Targe]], reducing it from 750 units/second to 638. Furthermore, due to this slower charge speed, less actual distance is covered from a charge.
+
The Scotsman's Skullcutter bears similarities to the Demoman's [[Eyelander|swords]], with 50% increased melee range and 75% slower deploy/holster speeds.<ref>Deploy function in game/shared/tf/tf_weaponbase.cpp</ref> 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 [[Classes|class]] that is not [[overheal]]ed, excluding the [[Heavy]].

Hey, Private Haircut... I might o' taken a bit too much off... YOUR HEAD!
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 .
