Verdict
Knife Spin and Knife Simulator 3D both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Knife Simulator 3D's written reviews are positive against 38% of Knife Spin's. Knife Simulator 3D also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Knife Spin's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 20 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
