The Field Hockey Stick with Sawblade is a crafted two-handed weapon. It is a Field Hockey Stick with a circular sawblade fixed to the head. The blade makes it an axe-class weapon, so it trains the Axe skill.
It is the hardest-hitting version of the hockey stick, and it keeps the long reach. The cost is durability, since half of its hits wear it down. The recipe needs Carpentry 5, five tools and a recipe that has to be learned first. The weapon is a very rare find in late game survivor safehouses.
Combat
The sawblade stick swings a little slower than the base speed and reaches 1.63 tiles. That reach is longer than most axe-class weapons. Each hit deals between 0.7 and 1.5 damage. The crit chance starts at 10 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage by five.
Both hands stay on the stick while it is equipped. The light weight keeps the endurance cost of each swing low. The long reach lets it hit a zombie before the zombie can grab.
The Axe skill raises damage, crit chance and swing speed as it levels. Against the Field Hockey Stick with Nails, the sawblade adds damage but crits far less often. It also trains Axe instead of Long Blunt. The Baseball Bat with Sawblade uses the same recipe, hits harder and lasts far longer, but reaches a shorter distance. The sawblade stick suits an Axe survivor who wants reach and has a spare Circular Sawblade.
Uses
The sawblade stick holds a small piece of iron. A Primitive Furnace or better smelts it into an Iron Chunk. An Advanced Furnace turns it into a Steel Chunk. A Simple Furnace or better can melt it into a crucible of iron for casting.

Used in Crafting
Any recipe that asks for a smeltableironsmall accepts it as the tool, such as Smelt Iron From Small Item, Smelt Steel From Small Iron Item and Smelt Small Iron Item.
Repair
The sawblade stick has 7 condition, and each hit has a 1 in 2 chance of taking a point off. That is a very fast rate of wear. 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 Field Hockey Stick 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.
The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container.
| Location | Container | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Survivor safehouse (late game) | Cardboard box | 0.1% |
| Survivor safehouse (late game) | Counter | 0.1% |
| Survivor safehouse (late game) | Crate | 0.1% |
| Survivor safehouse (late game) | Metal shelves | 0.1% |
| Survivor safehouse (late game) | Small box | 0.1% |
| Survivor safehouse (late game) | Wardrobe | <0.1% |
Notes
- The tools are a wrench, a saw, a carpentry chisel, a metal drill and a mallet.
- The parts are a Field Hockey Stick, a Circular Sawblade, one Nuts and Bolts and two Leather Strips.
- Half the hits wear it down, so a fresh stick lasts only a short fight without repairs.
- Reading the sawblade stick in the crafting menu can teach the Brake Disc and sawblade weapon recipes.
