A '''Rune hatchet''' is a [[hatchet]] that is stronger than the [[Adamant hatchet]]. It requires [[Skills|level]] 41 [[Woodcutting]] to use for Woodcutting. It is suspected to be about 25-35% faster than an adamant hatchet and 15% slower than a dragon hatchet. It is mostly used for [[Woodcutting]], but it can be used in combat. It is the strongest hatchet available to [[free players]]. Players can make a Rune hatchet with the [[Smithing]] skill at level 86 using 1 [[Rune bar]], giving the player 75 Smithing [[experience]]. Before the [[Random events|Random event]] update, if it was broken by an [[Ent]], it could be fixed at [[Bob's Brilliant Axes]] in [[Lumbridge]] for 427 coins.

Players must have an [[Attack]] level of 40 to wield a Rune hatchet as a weapon and a Woodcutting level of 41 to use a rune axe to chop down trees. There used to be no level requirement to use it to chop down trees, but Jagex fixed this to prevent macros from using them from the beginning. This item can be bought from the [[Grand Exchange]] in north [[Varrock]].

==Price history==
Before the [[Grand Exchange]] update, Rune hatchets were worth between 9,000-15,000 in the streets; however, shortly after the release of the Grand Exchange, the price of the Rune hatchet crashed down to 1,000 coins. Now it has rebounded back, up to {{GEPrice|Rune hatchet}} coins, still significantly cheaper than it used to be before the introduction of the [[Grand Exchange]]. The only hatchets that are better are the [[Dragon hatchet]] and [[Inferno adze]], both of which are for members.

==Trivia==
*On [[1 April]] [[2009]], Jagex officially changed the names of all Woodcutting "axes" to "hatchets".
*Hatchets are typically held and used with one hand only, while axes have a longer handle and are used with two hands.
*Prior to the removal of free trade, Hatchets would lose their metal head, and you would have to re-attach them to the handle before being able to continue woodcutting. This was considered a random event designed to combat bots.
*Along with daggers, battleaxes, halberds, hatchets are the only weapons which have not been graphically updated yet.
*Before the release of the [[Dragon hatchet]], the rune hatchet could be used to cut down trees at any Woodcutting level.
*Like all hatchets and pickaxes (other than the [[Dragon hatchet]] and [[Dragon pickaxe]]), the rune hatchet appears to have a wooden handle but only a rune bar is needed to smith it.
