A '''Knife''' is a tool used for a small variety of tasks, mostly for making logs into bows using the [[Fletching]] [[skill]]. This is also an excellent tool for cutting through webs, especially to the [[Mage Arena]] in the deep wilderness. Knives can be bought in the [[Catherby]] general store, the [[Shantay Pass Shop]], and from [[Polypore Dungeon Supplies]] as well as having respawns on a table in the [[Musa Point]] general store, in a house behind the bank in [[Catherby]], behind the axe shop in Lumbridge and on a table in Lumbridge Castle's cellar. Knifes can be stored in the [[Toolbelt]]. There was a notorious [[Knife bug|glitch involving knives]] in [[RuneScape Classic]]. It had an almost unnoticed graphical update on 25 May 2010.

* Ground floor of Sorcerer's Tower.
* Lumbridge, behind the axe store
* House north-east of Catherby bank (the house with a sink).
* In the Varrock Sewer by the level 28 giant spiders after the web which makes it an inconvenient spawn point.

* [[Heckel Funch]] in the SE portion of [[Grand Tree]]
* Arhein's Store in Catherby

==Trivia==
*The new appearance of the item's sprite resembles that of real-world [[Wikipedia:Bowie knife|Bowie knives]].
*In the early days of [[RuneScape Classic]], free players could pick up a knife and throw it.{{fact}}
*The [[Knife bug]] in RuneScape Classic had a glitch which allowed players to wield a knife, giving '''very''' high strength bonuses that made players with level 1 Strength hit in the 10s (10-20) (equivalent to 100-200 LP). This glitch was later fixed.
*Sometimes in ''RuneScape'' HD, when you click the knife, it looks like an item before you wield it, yet nothing happens.
*The knife's inventory graphic was changed unannounced with the Elemental Workshop III update of 25 May 2010. The update made it look much more sharp.
*Seven knives are one of the ingredients of [[Iron Beer]].
