Ironman verdict
You can also make it yourself: it takes 50 Smithing and gives 240 Smithing XP, using Rune bar. Other sources include Chest (magic axe hut) and Raz's stash. Where the materials come from: Rune bar (made with 50 Smithing). Making ten takes 10 × Rune bar and gives 2,400 Smithing XP. Reaching level 50 Smithing takes 101,333 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 50 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Rune 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 500 coins, which is 7,840 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
