About Rune knife

The Rune knife is a members-only weapon in Old School RuneScape.

"A finely balanced throwing knife"

Over the last 30 days it traded between 104 and 121 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 110 gp. About 567,489 units changed hands per day. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 11,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 2 gp in Grand Exchange tax.

Casting High Level Alchemy returns 100 gp, which is 9.1% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
