Iron knife

Iron knife is a tier 10 free-to-play main-hand weapon for Ranged, with a high alchemy value of 3 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Iron knife is to buy it: Authentic Throwing Weapons in Ranging Guild sells it for 60 coins, and 2 other shops stock it too.

“A finely balanced throwing knife.”

Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 10 Smithing and gives 45 Smithing XP, using Iron bar. Other sources include Uncleaned find, Dung kalphite, Barrel (Viyeldi caves) and Level 3 grid. Where the materials come from: Iron bar (sold by Drogo's Mining Emporium for 59 coins). Making ten takes 10 × Iron bar and gives 450 Smithing XP. Reaching level 10 Smithing takes 1,154 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 10 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Iron 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 3 coins, which is 57 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
