I hope I didn't scare ya with my face-to-face MAN fighting!
The Demoman on common courtesy

The Scotsman's Skullcutter is a community melee weapon wielded by the Demoman. It appears as a bloodied battle-axe with a wooden shaft and spiked handguard.

This weapon functions similarly to the Eyelander in that it has a large melee range and will decapitate enemies, but it is not enchanted and will not collect power each time. It is however able to deal 20% extra damage and will recieve random Critical hits. The axe also appears to have considerable weight as it slows the Demoman down from 280 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 with it equipped. This item was released in the May 20, 2010 Patch under the second round of Contribute! content.
