Dwarven army axe

The Dwarven army axe is a tool that serves as a steel hatchet, steel pickaxe, needle, tinderbox, and chisel in one item. It can also be used as a weapon, with a little less power than Mithril weapons. There are no requirements to wield it.

The Dwarven Army Axe is a members-only benefit and is given to all members. The axe is sent directly to your inventory if you are a low-level player or, if there is no space there or in your hand, the item is sent to your bank.

Note that the axe will automatically be swapped for any bronze or steel pick, dagger, sword or hatchet, should there be no space in your inventory. The replaced item will then be sent to your bank. If there is no space in your bank either, no items will be replaced and you can collect your Dwarven Army Axe from Larry the Lumberjack or Moe the Miner outside Varrock. You can also collect your axe from either of them should you lose it. Higher level players can collect their axe from Larry or Moe directly.

Depending on which attack style the player is using the axe will change into one of three forms.

Hack! (Controlled)


When using the "Hack!" Attack Style the Axe is in the form of a hatchet as seen wielded by Larry the Lumberjack.

Gouge! (Controlled)


When using the "Gouge" Attack Style the Axe is in the form of a pickaxe as seen wielded by Moe the Miner.

Smash! (Controlled)


When using the "Smash!" Attack Style the axe takes the form of a Mace.

None of these Forms change the Equipment Bonus in any way. When cutting a normal tree, you have a chance of receiving a wooden knot. This can be crafted into an unfinished brooch. When mining copper or tin ore, you can receive an uncut lapis lazuli gem. This can be crafted into a cut lapis lazuli gem. The two can be combined into a Lapis lazuli brooch.

Special Attack
Cyclone attack deals 3 lots of damage to 1 target. Your target will be hit for 10, 15 and 20 simultaneously, for a grand total of 45 life points, except if the opponent has Protect from Melee or Deflect Melee active, then the hits are reduced to 6, 9, and 12, which is 27 lifepoints in total. However, if the opponent has less than 45 life points remaining, damage is reduced in a reverse order of the hits mentioned. The special attack drains 100% of your Special Attack bar. The damage dealt is not affected by prayers or the set effect of the Void Knight Equipment.

Trivia

 * It is most likely a reference to the Swiss Army Knife, with the same function of having many tools combined into a single one.
 * The names of the axe's providers may be taken from The Three Stooges, although there is no NPC by the name of Curley.
 * The weapon gives shared combat experience, making it undesirable for combat pures.
 * This weapon cannot be used to mine rubium, yielding the following message: "You need a pickaxe to mine this rock, you do not have a pickaxe which you have a mining level to use. Have a look around there must be one nearby."
 * When chopping fruit trees down with a Dwarven army axe, the animation shows the character is using a bronze hatchet. This may be fixed on the next update.
 * When burning logs, the animation shows the character using a tinderbox. This is because, according to the examine text, the axe has a tinderbox inside its hollow handle.
 * The item doesn't always appear in a low-level player's inventory. When this occurs, simply speak to one of the two NPC's that give them out.
 * The weapon can not be used to chop Jungle trees, giving you the message "You do not have a hatchet which you have the woodcutting level to use."
