For the utility tool, see knife.
Throwing knives are a type of one-handed Ranged projectile that could be smithed and wielded by both free players and members.
Throwing knives are created via Smithing. Each bar will produce 25 knives of the corresponding metal.
The attack range of knives is 5 spaces, which is slightly higher than darts. Throwing knives are among the fastest weapons in the game (along with darts).

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- When you cut a cactus in the desert, the animation shows you using a bronze throwing knife instead of a regular knife.
- In April 2011 the knives were changed so that they were held by the tip of the blade rather than the handle. This is in consistency with the use of real throwing knives. (Physically you may use any knife as a throwing implement, you have to hold the end that's lightest, which is determined by where the fulcrum point is, basically you hold and throw from the side that has the greatest length to the fulcrum point.)
- Before the Evolution of Combat update allowed throwing axes to be smithed, throwing knives were the only ranged weapons created using only the Smithing skill.
- Throwing knives were members-only until the Free-to-Play Extravaganza update on 29 February 2016 introduced dual wielding to free-to-play worlds.
- These knives are actually shaped differently from true throwing knives, which have two sharpened points and an elongated rhombus shape. But, these knives are shaped correctly for what is known as the spear, arrow, or combat knife-throwing style, which is how the player uses them. See knife throwing.
