Trivia

• The current appearance of the item's inventory sprite resembles that of real-world Bowie knives.
• In the early days of RuneScape Classic, free players could pick up a knife and throw it.
• The equipable knife glitch in RuneScape Classic allowed players to wield a knife, giving very high strength bonuses that made players with level 1 Strength able to hit 10-20 hitpoints of damage. This glitch was later fixed.
• The knife's inventory graphic was updated on 25 May 2010, making it look sharper.
• Seven knives are one of the ingredients of Iron Beer.
