The dragon sword is a one-handed stab weapon obtained as a rare drop from wyrms or lost ironwood crates, and requires 60 Attack to wield. It is the best standard sword, but outclassed by other higher tier stab weapons such as Osmumten's fang and the Zamorakian hasta.
As with most dragon equipment, the dragon sword cannot be made from raw materials using the Smithing skill.

Special attack
The dragon sword has a special attack, Wild Stab, that consumes 40% of the player's special attack energy to hit the target with 25% increased accuracy and damage. If the target is using Protect from Melee, the special attack will ignore the prayer for one attack. This special rolls off of the opponent's stab defence regardless of which mode it is in.
