Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker

“

See? I told ye they were a buncha' wee lasses! Click to listen — The Demoman on dead horsemen

”

The Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker is a melee weapon for the Demoman class. It appears as a rustic single bladed axe once wielded by the Horseless Headless Horsemann. It is covered in notches and sports a malevolantly grinning face.

This item is similar to the Eyelander in damage and attributes. It will only drop with the Unusual rarity name color. This item can be crafted using the Unusual Haunted Metal Scrap, which is dropped by finishing the achievement: Gored!

Trivia

• Although the axe glows when the Horseless Headless Horsemann uses the axe, the same glow is not present when equipped.
• Much like the Scotsman's Skullcutter, the axe does not have a taunt (aside from the Thriller taunt in effect for the Halloween event)
• The same kill icon is used for both the Horseless Headless Horsemann and the Demoman when getting a kill with the axe.
• The axe is the only melee weapon aside from the Spy's knives and the Sandman's ball to show a person being struck in the kill icon.
• Because the axe can only be crafted using the achievement-earned Unusual Haunted Metal Scrap, the Unusual Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker cannot be traded, unless gifted by Gift Wrap.
