Off-hand black scimitar
Off-hand black scimitar is a tier 25 free-to-play off-hand weapon for melee, with a high alchemy value of 460 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Off-hand black scimitar is to buy it: Zeke's Superior Scimitars in Al Kharid sells it for 768 coins, and 3 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict
2 monsters drop it, and the best one is also the easiest: Black demon (level 98), at 4/128 (about one every 32 kills). Other sources include Steel key red, Steel key brown, Steel key crimson and Steel key black, plus 2 more listed below. It is worn in the off-hand weapon slot at tier 25 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Off-hand weapons list. Off-hand black scimitar 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 460 coins, which is 308 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
