Knife

For the Melee weapon, see Dagger.

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, found on a table in the Musa Point general store, and behind the axe shop in Lumbridge. There was a notorious glitch involving knives in RuneScape Classic. It had an almost unnoticed graphical update on 25 May 2010.

Uses
Uses for knives are as follows:
 * Shaping logs in the Fletching skill
 * Slashing webs
 * Slicing and dicing oranges, limes, bananas, lemons, and pineapples in the Cooking skill
 * Cutting cacti in the Kharidian Desert to fill waterskins
 * Chopping up such things as tuna, sweetcorn, and tomatoes into bowls
 * Hollowing calquats to form calquat kegs
 * Scraping off sap from an evergreen tree while having a bucket in the inventory to make a bucket of sap
 * Making chocolate dust by using it on a chocolate bar
 * Cutting a fish using Barbarian Training in Baxtorian Falls to obtain various parts of the fish with multiple uses
 * Setting up deadfall traps in the Hunter skill
 * Cutting Cheese slices from a cheese wheel

Trivia

 * The new appearance of the item's sprite resembles that of real-world Bowie knives.
 * In the early days of RS Classic, free players could pick up a knife and throw it.
 * 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 much more sharp.
