Knife

Knife is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 15 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Knife is to buy it: Aemad's Adventuring Supplies in East Ardougne sells it for 25 coins, and 5 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict

At least 7 monsters drop it. The easiest is Mugger (level 15, 1/128); the best rate is Desert lizard (level 30), at 10/128, about one every 13 kills. Other sources include Tool store 2 (historical), Baby impling, Baby impling jar and Ruined backpack (Zogre Flesh Eaters), plus 4 more listed below. One recipe uses Knife: Kitchen cabinet (chopping board). 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 15 coins, which is 10 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
