Imagine if I hadn't been drunk! Ah heh.
The Demoman

The Scottish Handshake is a community-created 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 identically to the Bottle.

The Scottish Handshake was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.

The backpack icon was contributed by Template:Steam profile link
