The Plank with Sawblade is a Plank with a Circular Sawblade bolted to one end. It is a two-handed crafted axe that trains the Axe skill. It hits harder than any plain or nailed plank, and it also works as a woodcutting tool.
The weapon is heavy at a weight of 4, and its base crit chance is low. When a crit does land, it deals five times the damage. The Plank with Sawblade is crafted with the Make Sawblade Plank recipe at Carpentry 3 once the recipe is known. Mid-game survivor safehouses hold one very rarely. 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 Plank with Sawblade swings at normal speed and reaches about 1.25 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.7 and 1.5 damage, enough to drop an ordinary zombie in a few swings. The critical chance starts at 10 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage five times.
The weapon is two-handed and weighs 4, so each swing drains endurance quickly. Short fights against a few zombies suit it better than a long brawl. The Axe skill raises damage, attack speed and crit chance with each level, and it lowers wear.
Each hit has a 1 in 2 chance of taking a point of condition off, so the plank wears out fast. Compared with the Plank with Brake Disc, it deals a little less damage and has a weaker crit chance. Unlike that weapon, it doubles as a tool. A real axe such as the Wood Axe lasts far longer and hits harder.
Uses
The Plank with Sawblade can chop down trees like an axe. It also cuts plants. It chops a Log into six Firewood and a Large Branch into four Firewood. It serves as the tool for log furniture such as the Log Bench, Log Stool, Log Table and Log Stairs. It is also the cutting tool for the Bone Spike Weapon recipe.

Repair
The Plank with Sawblade has 10 condition, and each hit has a 1 in 2 chance of taking a point off. The Axe and Maintenance skills lower that chance. Duct Tape, Adhesive Tape and Glue repair it with no skill needed. Zip Ties need Maintenance 1, Wood Glue needs Carpentry 2 and Epoxy needs Maintenance 3. Every repair restores less condition than the one before it.
