The zombie axe is a one-handed axe that requires 65 Attack to wield. It is created by taking a broken zombie axe, obtained as a drop from armoured zombies, to an anvil and repairing it with 70 Smithing.

The axe's high strength bonus and slash attack stats are higher than any other one-handed weapon, while its crush attack bonus is only surpassed by the dragon warhammer and inquisitor's mace (not counting PVP-only weapons). Despite its 5-tick attack speed, the axe performs better than the dragon scimitar and against enemies weak to crush or enemies with higher defence, such as a gargoyle, the axe can deal even more average damage than an abyssal whip. This is particularly useful for midgame ironman players who do not have level 85 Slayer to kill abyssal demons.

The zombie axe's slash bonus will always slash webs successfully like the Wilderness sword 1, making it a convenient weapon for ironmen to slay Sarachnis.

The zombie axe counts as an axe for fixing bridges when doing Temple Trekking.
