— The Demoman to the beheaded Soldier

”

The Scotsman's Skullcutter is a community-created melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a bloodied double-bit battle-axe with a wooden shaft and spiked crossguard.

The Scotsman's Skullcutter bears similarities to the Demoman's swords, with 50% increased melee range and 75% slower deploy/holster speeds.^[1] 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 can kill any class that is not overhealed, excluding the Heavy.

While the weapon is active, it slows the Demoman down from 280 Hammer 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 kill icon for the Scotsman's Skullcutter was contributed by NeoDement .

Unused content

There is an unused axe located in the backpack files that resembles the Skullcutter. Based on the similar designs and file names, it may have been a prototype for the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker.

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.
