The Brine sabre is a weapon that is dropped by Brine rats after starting Olaf's Quest. One does not need to complete Olaf's Quest to wield the sword, however. It simply requires an attack level of 40 to wield. It's stats are similar to those of the rune scimitar
The Brine sabre features a special attack, Liquefy, that doubles the chance of hitting, and adds 2.5% of the damage to your Strength, Attack and Defence, draining 75% of the special attack meter. However, the Special only works when a player is underwater.
A great underwater area is the Mogre Camp, found during the Recipe for Disaster quest. You can enter it by talking to Murphy in Port Khazard. This weapon can also be used in the underwater tunnel on Harmony Island and in the 'Rum'geon, where it is super-effective against 'Rum'-pumped crabs. Many P2P members with enough money to afford a Brine Sabre buy one instead of a rune scimitar, because it has the same requirements, but better stats. Many pures with low attack use it as well.

Trivia
- The special attack of the Brine sabre has the same animation as the Brackish blade, though the latter can be used outside of water.
- Due to the Brine sabre's special attack to only be usable underwater, the special is nearly entirely useless, and serves only the purpose of making switching to another combo weapon with a special attack more fluent, due to the special bar being there 1 or 2 ticks longer.
