The Scotsman's Skullcutter is a community-created melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a bloodied double-bevelled battle-axe with a wooden shaft and spiked crossguard.
The Scotsman's Skullcutter bears similarities to the Demoman's swords, with increased melee range and slower deploy/holster speeds. Unlike the swords, it does not have random Critical hits disabled, meaning that it does not require a shield in order to deal Critical hits. In addition, it deals 20% more damage than the Bottle. A single Critical hit will kill any class that isn't Overhealed, excluding the Heavy.
While the weapon is active, it will slow the Demoman down from 280 units/second (93% of normal speed) to 238 units/second (79% 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 while the weapon is active. The slow speed with the Scotsman's Skullcutter equipped makes playing as a Demoknight less effective than with other swords. As such, it is better used with a Stickybomb Launcher.
The creator, NeoDement , also contributed the kill icon.

Trivia
- Most of the Quake World Team Fortress's classes, including the Demoman, used a battle-axe as their melee weapon.
- Like the Eyelander, this weapon still has blood on it in the censored version of Team Fortress 2, whereas the Ubersaw and Axtinguisher are clean and bloodless.
- NeoDement submitted a custom taunt animation for the Scotsman's Skullcutter, which has not been implemented.
