A nasty weapon designed by Gearhead Raiders, this Exotic piece of equipment has the form of an axe, but instead of an axe head, atop its haft are counter-rotating sawblades with industrial diamond-tipped teeth that rip into flesh with frightening efficiency. It has a pressure-based motorcycle throttle that operates a two-stroke motor with a gurgle that belches black smoke and fire when it is used. It is said that the sound of the Buzzcutter Axe drives fear into those that face it.
