Steel axe
“A woodcutter's axe.”
About this item
The steel axe is slightly stronger than the iron axe. It can be used in combat or in Woodcutting to cut trees. It requires an Attack level of 5 to be equipped, and a Woodcutting level of 6 to be used. The success rate for chopping a log is approximately 200% that of the bronze axe, or 33% better than an iron axe.

Its high alch value of 120 does not cover the 150 nature rune it would burn, so alching is a loss before the item itself is counted.

Measured with medians rather than averages, because one spike — an update, a streamer, a brief squeeze — drags an average around for weeks afterwards and makes everything since look ordinary. Worth noting here: this item typically moves 7.74% in a day, which is more than the 4.82% you would be capturing — so holding it overnight risks more than the flip makes.
