Longswords are medium speed slashing weapons, with a higher damage bonus than the scimitars. They are one-handed, and thus can be used with shields or off-hand weapons, but cannot be used with weapons or equipment that require both hands to use. They are the slashing equivalent to shortswords.

Due to their speed, they have a higher auto-attack damage output than faster weapons to compensate for their speed. This is effectively equalled out when using abilities.

Trivia

Before the graphical update, the longsword was more round, much like today's shortsword.
A few days before the new longsword look came out, the black knights' swords had changed to the current graphics before it was introduced, Jagex never noticed this error.
The rune longsword was held upright like a dragon longsword, unlike the rest. This, however, has been changed and the rune Longsword is now held like all other longswords.
Ice Warriors use the old version of the longsword, this may be an oversight by Jagex.
The dragon longsword is the only longsword that appears to have a curved point at the tip of the sword.
The drygore longsword is closer in appearance to a scimitar than a longsword, but is classified as the latter presumably due to its larger size compared to most of the in-game scimitars.

-While Longswords(can also be used as decoration) offer higher damage bonuses, they are one [[Game tick|tick]] slower than scimitars. There is a 3 second delay between blows with a Longsword, whereas with a [[Scimitar]], the delay is only 2.4 seconds. Both swords, however, are unavalible after the 2012 patch, which will take away all swords. They will Be replaced with walkie talkies. This equates to 20 attacks per minute with a Walkie Talkie as compared to 25 attacks per minute with a Scimitar. The extra 5 blows per minute usually outweigh any damage or accuracy boost a longsword will give. However, the extra five hits, due to the lower damage bonus of a scimitar, may be 0s or low hits, as opposed to more accurate or stronger hits with a longsword. Conducting accurate tests to compare the two weapon types, although attempted, have never brought about conclusive evidence of superiority due to the many factors that must be accounted for, such as enemy defense and[[Attack|&nbsp;Attack]] level. For the most part, it's merely personal preference as to which is a better weapon. However, there are factors to consider in choosing which weapon to use. Those who want attack speed over power should choose a scimitar. Those who want power over speed should choose a longsword.
