A detailed image of rune knife.

The Rune knife is a member's only Ranged throwing weapon. It is the best throwing knife in the game and requires 40 Ranged to wield. They can be obtained by using the Smithing skill, looting from a ninja impling, a drop from certain metal dragons or trading with another player. Rune knives can be poisoned and can be wielded with a shield or god book for protection. They are commonly used in PvP situations. But, due to their price, they're often replaced with dragon darts.

92 Smithing is needed to create rune knives. Each Rune bar will create 5 rune knives and grant 75 Smithing experience.
