Bronze hatchet
Bronze hatchet is a tier 1 free-to-play main-hand weapon for melee, with a high alchemy value of 50 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Bronze hatchet is to buy it: Obli's General Store in Karamja sells it for 840 coins, and 5 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict
At least 7 monsters drop it. The easiest is Goblin (level 2, 3/128); the best rate is Zombie (Entrana Dungeon) (level 29), at 50/128, about one every 3 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 1 Smithing and gives 15 Smithing XP, using Bronze bar. Other sources include Ogre Coffin, H.A.M. Member (male), New Varrock guard captain and Guard (H.A.M.), plus 1 more listed below. Making ten takes 10 × Bronze bar and gives 150 Smithing XP. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 1 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Bronze hatchet is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 50 coins, which is 790 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
