Claidheamh Mòr
“ | Right about now you must be wondering how in God's name you're supposed to pronounce Claidheamohmor(sic). The answer: you don't! If you're remotely near one you'll be dead long before you're done injuring your vocal chords anyway!

The Claidheamh Mòr (/'kleɪfmɔər/ clay-uv-mohr), is a community-made melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a Template:W augmented with a crossguard with side rings and a green and team-colored Template:W wrapped around the grip. The blade is splattered with blood.
Similar to the Eyelander, this weapon has a large melee range and cannot roll for random critical hits. However, the Claidheamh Mòr only decreases its wielder's health by 15. It also will not collect heads from decapitated victims, and as such, killing enemies with the Claidheamh Mòr will not increase health or speed. When equipped with the Chargin' Targe or Splendid Screen, the sword will allow the Demoman to charge for an additional 0.5 seconds, effectively increasing the length and duration of the charge. This does not change the length of time needed to charge to gain mini-crits and full crits during a charge; the extra half second simply extends the guaranteed critical hit window of opportunity.
Taunting with the Claidheamh Mòr equipped will perform the Decapitation kill taunt.
The weapon was originally created for the Fancy vs. Nasty Update as a replacement for the Eyelander, and has since been officially added to the game.

Trivia
- Claidheamh mòr is the Template:W form of Template:W, literally translated to "sword big".
- Although it is named after the Scottish Claymore sword, it appears to be more closely modeled after a Swiss or German Template:W with parrierhaken guards above the Template:W.
