The dragon pickaxe is one of the strongest pickaxes in its class and is only available to Members. As with all axes, it is both a weapon, requiring 60 Attack to wield, and a mining tool, requiring 61 Mining to use. While typical pickaxes have a metal handle that goes through the pick head, this pickaxe's handle is made from pure dragon tooth, which is stronger than any metal.
