Black knife
Black knife is a tier 25 free-to-play main-hand weapon for Ranged, with a high alchemy value of 11 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Black knife is to buy it: Authentic Throwing Weapons in Ranging Guild sells it for 19 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.
“A finely balanced throwing knife.”

Ironman verdict
3 monsters drop it, and the best one is also the easiest: Cyclops (level 57), at 8/100 (about one per kill). Other sources include Monkey knife fighter. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 25 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Black knife 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 11 coins, which is 8 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
