The Fan o' Shivs in use. Note how the damage increases while using Throwing/Poisoned Knives. Additionally note the shivs' different appearance and ability to inflict Poisoned in the latter case.

The Fan o' Shivs is a Pre-Hardmode ranged weapon dropped by The Keeper. When used, it throws a spread of 3 shivs that quickly fall to the ground after 0.67 seconds. Additionally, the shivs can pierce one enemy. If the player has Throwing Knives or Poisoned Knives in their inventory, the shivs will deal 3 more damage, gain +25% velocity, consume 1 knife on use, and, if Poisoned Knives are being used, inflict Poisoned debuff with a 50% chance.

Its best modifier is Unreal.
