Thanks, about what level will I be able to regularly hit with iron knives?

Yea I do have 60 mining, but I never thought of the Yanille mine...thats a good idea. Thanks!

As I'm finishing stringing about 7k willow longs to get to 70 fletching, I am thinking of another plan that would get several skills up (I like plans like that). Two of my worst skills are ranging and smithing (46 and 49). I want to get both up, and i was thinking of doing this: I would mine enough iron for about 70 smithing (which is about 80k, giving an allowance for unrefined ores) and use those bars to make iron knives for ranging. I have two questions: 1. Where is the closest iron mine to a bank? All the ones i can think of (S Falador, Varrock) are a decent walk, although the Dwarven Mines aren't too bad. 2. Are knives good to train with? I was thinking of selling what i had left when I am done (I'm shooting for about 70 range) to get some money. Tell me what you think!
