About Knives.io
Knives.io is a circle-of-blades arena where collecting more knives enlarges your rotating shield and improves your attack reach. A careless rush can send you into an opponent with a stronger ring. Position the blade circle so you can strike with an outer edge and retreat before the rival counters.
