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 as part of the second round of Contribute! content.

Trivia

  • The Scotsman's Skullcutter's speed penalty also decreases the speed of a charge, when used with the Chargin' Targe (reducing it from 750 units/second to 638).
  • Contrary to popular belief, the Skullcutter does not have the same range as the Bottle.
  • A Spy who is disguised as a Demoman with the Skullcutter equipped will not have his movement speed reduced by 15%.
  • Most of the Team Fortress Quake mod's classes, including the Demoman, used a battle-axe as their melee weapon.
  • This weapon was originally featured in Royzo's TF2 Mod emporium III
  • Like the Eyelander, this weapon still has blood on it in the censored version of Team Fortress 2, whereas the Übersaw and Axtinguisher are clean and have no blood.
  • There is a removed axe located in the backpack files that resembles the Skullcutter. They share the same texture and general shape.
