Rusty sword

Rusty swords were originally useless items, but can now be brought to Tindel Marchant at the harbour of Port Khazard in the Antiques Shop Stall to be polished and made into usable swords for 100 coins. You will receive a random sword, from bronze to rune but more commonly is iron. This can be beneficial for lower level players who are low on cash. They can also be repaired when used on a whetstone or armour stand in a Player Owned House, although there is a chance of the sword breaking instead of being repaired. Successfully repairing a rusty sword gives 25 Smithing experience.

Before an update in 2006 that removed finding items in random locations such as boxes, hay bales, and chests, they could be found by repeatedly searching boxes, along with other useless junk like buttons, broken armour, needles, and a few coins. This led some players to spend a lot of time searching the boxes by Tindel Marchant for rusty swords, and then having Tindel Marchant fix them. However, after the update, this was no longer possible.
