The Saw-Ax is an improvised melee weapon featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.
Background[]
Despite its marked resemblance to an over-sized pizza cutter, its ability to slice into zombies without getting stuck has made this gruesome invention a hit amongst survivors. This is due to its rotating saw head, which spins once it impacts the target rather than impart all its force.
Can be made with the right materials, tools, and skills.

Tactics[]
While it is strong enough to kill or badly wound a zombie with one strike, it needs to be right next to the zombie in order to attack, a weakness it shares with most melee weapons. Combined with a relatively slow swing, its wielder is likely to take quite a few injuries while performing their grisly work.
