Throwing knives are a type of one-handed members-only Ranged projectile. They can be wielded with shields and prayer books for protection.

Throwing knives are created via Smithing. Each bar will produce 5 knives of the corresponding metal.

Throwing knives are among the fastest weapons in the game (along with darts), and it is for this reason that many people prefer to use knives (or darts) when training their Ranged. The attack range of knives is 5 spaces, which is slightly higher than darts.

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.

These are the only ranged weapons that are made using only the smithing skill. However, it has been leaked that the Dragon knife will be released in the future.

TriviaEdit

• 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.)
