- Effects that reload while holstered (such as Eject Magazine) will restore ammo without affecting the previously thrown blades, which will return upon normal reload, resulting in a higher amount of blades that can be generated and then returned simultaneously.
- Once the amount of embedded blades exceeds 30, older blades will begin returning with each shot in an inconsistent order.
- This amount includes shots produced by Multishot.

Notes[]
- Returning knives seem to target the midpoint between the two ammo pouches on the Warframe's thighs rather than the location of the aiming reticle above its shoulder. In order to consistently strike an enemy with the returning blades, it may be necessary to aim above and slightly to the side of them (i.e., if you're aiming past the Warframe's left shoulder, aim to the left of the enemy) to counteract this.
Trivia[]
- Cantare is an Italian word that translates "to sing".
