knife throwers
Circus blade artists
Knife throwers are performers who throw knives at targets, typically with a human assistant standing against a board.
The act belongs to circus, carnival, and variety entertainment traditions.
The term sometimes extends metaphorically to people who attack others indirectly or betray colleagues: Watch out for the knife throwers in that department.
