The Cudgel with Sawblade is a crafted two-handed weapon. It is a heavy wooden club with a circular sawblade fixed to the end. The blade makes it an axe-class weapon, so it trains the Axe skill.
It shares the top damage of the strongest cudgels and hits hard on almost every swing. Its crit doubles the damage. The recipe needs Carpentry 6, four tools and a recipe that has to be learned first. The weapon is a very rare find in late game survivor safehouses. The Lumberjack is the best occupation for axes. It starts with the most Axe skill. The Firefighter also starts with some Axe skill.
Combat
The sawblade cudgel swings below base speed and reaches 1.35 tiles. Each hit deals between 1.9 and 3.0 damage, enough to drop most zombies in one or two swings. The crit chance starts at 50 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
Both hands stay on the club while it is equipped. The heavy club adds to the endurance cost of every swing. It suits short fights against one or two zombies more than a long fight against a crowd.
The Axe skill raises damage, crit chance and swing speed as it levels. Three cudgels train the Axe skill: the brake disc, the sawblade and the spade head versions. All three reach 3.0 damage at the top end. The sawblade sits between the other two at the low end. The Cudgel with Brake Disc is the easier build, at Carpentry 5 with fewer tools. The sawblade cudgel suits a survivor who already has a spare Circular Sawblade.

Repair
The sawblade cudgel has 10 condition, and each hit has a 1 in 10 chance of taking a point off. The Axe and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. Duct Tape, Adhesive Tape and Glue repair it with no skill. Wood Glue needs Carpentry 2. Zip Ties need Maintenance 1, Epoxy needs Maintenance 3, and Epoxy with Rags needs Maintenance 4. Every repair restores less condition than the one before it.
Locations
The Cudgel with Sawblade is a very rare find. It turns up only in late game survivor safehouses. There it can sit in cardboard boxes, crates, small boxes, metal shelves or counters, each with a tiny chance. Wardrobes in those safehouses hold one even more rarely. Crafting one is far more reliable than looking for it.
