Bronze knife
Bronze knife is a tier 5 free-to-play main-hand weapon for Ranged, with a high alchemy value of 2 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Bronze knife is to buy it: Authentic Throwing Weapons in Ranging Guild sells it for 40 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.
“A finely balanced throwing knife.”

Ironman verdict
2 monsters drop it, and the best one is also the easiest: Skeleton (Tarn's Lair) (level 45), at 5/256 (about one every 51 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 1 Smithing and gives 15 Smithing XP, using Bronze bar. Other sources include Dung kalphite, Barrel (Viyeldi caves) and New Varrock guard captain. Making ten takes 10 × Bronze bar and gives 150 Smithing XP. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 5 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Bronze 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 2 coins, which is 38 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
