Why can't I find a knife in general stores?

General

I’ve tried Lumby Varrock and Edge but there’s no knives.
Were they members only in 2004? Do I need to wait until members server to buy one?

I was gonna prep for members quests like knife on choc bar to get choc dust and bucket of milk for Plague City etc…

They are not members only in RSC. There are some ground spawns. Chocolate dust is members only, though.

Varrock General store has one upstairs.

I already forgot but I think I got mine at Karamja.

Thank you very much.
