A detailed image of a black knife.

A black knife is a member's only Ranged weapon. A player must have at least 10 Ranged to wield these throwing knives.

They can be obtained as drops from Ankou, Rock Crabs, Cyclopes, Shadow warriors or level 48 soldiers, by pickpocketing Monkey knife fighters, or by trading with another player. Black knives can be poisoned and can be wielded with a shield or god book for protection.

Black knives are also one of only two ranged weapons able to harm the Tormented wraith, the other being Black darts.
