Researching the blueprint costs 60 scrap at a Research Table.
Keeps is the share of what the tool breaks off that reaches your inventory. The rest is destroyed with the swing.

In Rust, Salvaged Axe is a gathering tool in the Tools category (item ID #-262590403, console shortname axe.salvaged). When harvesting, it clears a american beech node in 20 swings while keeping 100% of the yield. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 40 minutes.
A high-yield resource gathering axe. Slower than the Hatchet.
Crafting Salvaged Axe in Rust takes 25 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 once the 60 scrap blueprint node is unlocked, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
The Salvaged Axe keeps the most wood of the 6 wood-cutting tools, tied with the Chainsaw at 100%.
When choosing between Salvaged Axe and related tools in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (60 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 90-scrap tech tree path and save 30 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salvaged Axe | Tools | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 90 path | Not recyclable |
| Hatchet | Tools | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 60 path | Not recyclable |
| Sickle | Misc | 1 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Stone Hatchet | Tools | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |

The Salvaged Axe drops from 11 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Tool Box (2% chance), Locked Crate (1.3% chance), and Sunken Crate (1.3% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Salvaged Axe recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 2 Metal Blades plus a 50% chance of one more and a 50% chance of a Metal Pipe. Undamaged copies return the full listed yield, whereas worn items scale their recycler output down in proportion to remaining durability.
The Salvaged Axe takes 25 seconds to craft, down to 12.5 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It sits in the Tools catalog with item ID -262590403 alongside 35 related tools, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -262590403 1 across 36 published Tools entries.

Blueprint progression for Salvaged Axe at Workbench Level 2 in Rust charges 60 scrap on the target node and 90 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 60 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Salvaged Axe despawns after 40 minutes by default. Picking it back up into a player inventory or storing it inside a base container immediately resets that ground despawn timer, which the server scales by item rarity tier.
The Salvaged Axe has 32-bit signed item ID -262590403 and shortname axe.salvaged in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Tools category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Salvaged Axe in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give axe.salvaged 1 or inventory.giveid -262590403 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
