Ironman verdict
2 monsters drop it. The easiest is Black Knight (level 30, 1/128); the best rate is Brine rat (level 43), at 1/128, about one every 128 kills. It is worn in the hand slot at tier 25 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Hands list. Black gauntlets 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 1,200 coins, which is 800 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
