Bronze weapons in Runescape are all junk compared to iron. You should skip buying anything bronze until you can get an iron scimitar. Even then you might just want to wait for steel as it is much more powerful and only requires a level 5 attack to use. You can buy a bronze sword in Falador for a very cheap price. This should get you by until you can buy an iron scimitar in Al Kharid.
