Knife Shield

• Creates a ring of 8 knives around the player that damage enemies and block enemy bullets. Knives vanish after taking enough damage.
• If used again before Knife Shield is recharged, the knives are launched forward.
• Each knife deals 30 damage.
• Increases Curse by 1 while held.

• Fightknives - If the player has [Fightsabre] , activating Knife Shield while holding [Fightsabre] makes the knives reflect enemy bullets before getting destroyed. This synergy effect remains even if you switch weapons (provided you were holding [Fightsabre] upon activation).
• Running Blades - If the player has [Deck4rd] , killing an enemy with [Deck4rd] has a high chance to spawn a knife.
• Throw All Daggers - If the player is holding [Excaliber] , Knife Shield generates two layers of knives upon use.
• The knives do not carry on between floors, and disappear once the player enters a new floor.
• Knife Shield can be activated while the player already has knives, adding another 8 knives to the ring. Be aware that the each set of knives will be spawned in the same layer, so you will end up with 16 knives in one layer rather than two layers with 8 knives each.
• The knives break minor obstacles and barrels with impunity.
• The knifes break upon hitting a Blizzbulon frozen body.

• This item's functionality is likely a reference to the Mega Man where shield weapons take a similar form, being composed of small orbiting projectiles that can be fired out as a single unit.
