''A small [[:Category:Axes|short but sturdy axe]] specifically made for [[woodcutting]], and is much better at this task than any other type of axe. It is with a thick blade specially designed to cut down trees with but poor weapon for [[fighting]], howeverin combat.''

As of a patch in late 2006, this tool is now given out as part of the Newbie starter kit from an NPC guide in == Skins applicable ==* [[Item skin token|Bearded Hatchet]] == Notes ==* [[NewtownQL]] instead of the [[small axeshaft]] that was provided beforeaffects % chance to create.* This item is a standard newbie tool. It The newbie hatchet is made from [[birchwood]], is not improvable, and will burn if put in any kind of [[fire. Take ]]; take care as to not accidentally lose it in this way.* Hatchets used to weigh 1.5 kg before the fight fix in late 2007.* Hatchet is a small [[:Category:Axes|axe]] specifically made for [[woodcutting]], and is much better at this task than any other type of axe. It is a poor weapon for [[fighting]], however.* The hatchet and [[saw]] are the only tools that give tool skill above 20 when cutting down trees with it. Other tool and weapon skills cannot be improved this way beyond 20; after that using them for cutting wood only gives woodcutting skill.* Each tool comes with a skill based on the item itself. This skill effects how well you can use a hatchet. Higher skill improves the chance of getting higher quality trees or logs, although the maximum quality is determined by your woodcutting skill. ==Skills & Characteristics==When using a hatchet* [[Miscellaneous items]] > HatchetWhen creating a hatchet* [[Smithing]] > [[Blacksmithing]] == [[Titles]] ==* Woodsman at 50 skill* Hewer at 70 skill* Tomahawk at 90 skill
