Sawblade

Sawblades are a type of fast one-handed, members-only slashing metal weapons that can be used in melee combat. They are available in all varieties of metal except black and white. 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.

Sawblades are classed as slashing weapons of the fastest speed. Their attack speed and damage are identical to those of scimitars, claws, maces and daggers. They are the most expensive of the five 'fastest' weapon types, and are generally one of the most expensive melee weapons available at a given metal tier. Sawblades tend to be expensive even when compared to other weapon types of the same level.

Sawblades have an Attack requirement to wield them, commensurate with their tier, with the exception of dragon sawblades, which in addition to requiring 60 Attack, also requires 60 Slayer and completion of the Godslayer quest to be wielded and bought.

The sawblades can be obtained either by either buying them at the Sword Shop in Contego, or at the Grand Exchange, or trading with another player. It is not possible to make sawblades using the Smithing skill, similar to halberds.

There are seven sawblades that can be used anywhere in RuneScape:
 * Bronze sawblade
 * Iron sawblade
 * Steel sawblade
 * Mithril sawblade
 * Adamant sawblade
 * Rune sawblade
 * Dragon sawblade

Trivia

 * Before the Evolution of Combat, sawblades used to be fast, semi-powerful weapons similar in strength to claws, but slightly better. After the Evolution of Combat, sawblades are rarely used anymore as they are seen as inferior weapons by most players, because of the difficulty of obtaining them, as well as being nearly identical to scimitars, which are much easier to obtain and just as popular.
 * The dragon sawblade is the only sawblade that appears to have a serrated blade, similar to a saw.
