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.

Players can make a Steel axe with the Smithing skill at level 31 using one Steel bar, giving the player 37.5 Smithing experience.
