The Large Handle with Sawblade is a Large Handle with a Circular Sawblade bolted to the end. It is a two-handed crafted axe, and it trains the Axe skill. It weighs 2.
The blade turns the handle into both a weapon and a woodcutting tool. It chops trees, cuts plants and splits wood into firewood. Its weakness is fast wear. It is made with the Make Sawblade Large Handle recipe at Carpentry 5. 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 Large Handle with Sawblade swings at base speed and reaches 1.25 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.7 and 1.5 damage. The crit chance starts at only 10 percent, but a crit deals five times the damage.
The weapon is two-handed but light, so its endurance cost per swing stays low. The Axe skill raises its speed, damage and crit chance as it levels. The Ax-pert trait from the Lumberjack occupation speeds up every axe swing, this one included.
Against the plain Large Handle, it hits clearly harder. It suits a survivor who trains Axe and needs a tree cutter before finding a real Wood Axe.
Uses
The Large Handle with Sawblade counts as a tree chopping tool. It cuts down trees and cuts plants. It chops a Log into six Firewood and a Large Branch into four, with some Wood Splinters each time. It serves as the tool for log furniture such as the Log Bench, Log Stool, Log Table and Log Stairs. It also works as the cutting tool for the Bone Spike Weapon recipe. At an Advanced Furnace it smelts into two Steel Chunks.

Repair
The Large Handle with Sawblade has 10 condition. Each hit has a 1 in 2 chance of taking a point off, so it wears out very fast. The Axe and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. Duct tape, adhesive tape and glue repair it with no skill needed. Zip ties need Maintenance 1, and wood glue needs Carpentry 2. Epoxy needs Maintenance 3, and epoxy with rags needs Maintenance 4. Each repair restores less condition than the one before.
Locations
The Large Handle with Sawblade is a very rare find. It spawns only in mid game and late game survivor safehouses, in boxes, counters, crates, shelves and wardrobes. Crafting one is far more reliable.

Notes
- The recipe needs a hammer, a saw, a wrench and a metal drill, all kept.
- It also uses a Circular Sawblade, a Leather Strip, Nuts and Bolts and a Large Handle.
- Save its condition for woodcutting and use a sturdier weapon for fights.
- A worn out weapon still yields steel at an Advanced Furnace.
