The Scrap Metal Cleaver-Axe is a long cleaver blade welded onto a metal shaft. It is a two-handed axe that trains the Axe skill. It works as a weapon and as a woodcutting tool.
Its long reach is its best feature. It reaches farther than the Wood Axe, but it hits softer and its crits are weak. It weighs 3 and swings a little slower than most axes. It is never found as loot and comes only from welding. 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 Scrap Metal Cleaver-Axe swings slightly slower than base speed and reaches 1.35 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.6 and 1.7 damage. An ordinary zombie takes a few swings to drop. The crit chance starts at 10 percent, and a crit triples the damage.
Both hands stay on the weapon while it is equipped. Its weight and slow swing make each attack costly in endurance. The long reach lets it strike before a zombie closes in, which suits fighting at a fence or a doorway.
The Axe skill raises damage, crit chance and swing speed as it levels. Compared with the Axe and the Wood Axe, it trails in damage and crit power. It suits a welder who needs an axe for both trees and zombies.
Uses
The Scrap Metal Cleaver-Axe chops trees and cuts plants. It splits a log into six pieces of Firewood. It splits a large branch into four pieces of Firewood. It also works as the axe for building a Log Bench, Log Stool, Log Table and Log Stairs. At a furnace it smelts into four Iron Chunks, or four Steel Chunks at an Advanced Furnace.

Used in Crafting
Any recipe that asks for a smeltableironlarge or tree-felling axe accepts it as the tool, such as Smelt Iron From Large Item, Smelt Steel From Large Iron Item and Smelt Large Iron Item.
Repair
The Scrap Metal Cleaver-Axe has 10 condition. Each hit has a 1 in 10 chance of taking a point off. The Axe and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. Epoxy repairs it, and so does Epoxy with Rags. Every repair restores less condition than the one before it. The blade can also be sharpened with a whetstone, a Grindstone or, poorly, with a file.
Notes
- The Make Scrap Metal Cleaver recipe needs Welding 4 and makes this axe or the one-handed Scrap Metal Cleaver.
- A full Steel Rod or Iron Pipe as the shaft gives this axe.
- A Broken Iron Pipe or a Steel Rod Half gives the one-handed Scrap Metal Cleaver instead.
- The other parts are a small Steel Sheet, a Rag or strips, and one Nuts and Bolts.
- The recipe also uses six charges of a Welding Torch, a welding mask, a file, a wrench, a metal drill and metal snips or a saw.
- Reading the axe in the crafting menu can teach the Meat Cleaver Blade forging recipe.
