★ Classic Knife | Slaughter (Field-Tested)

The ★ Classic Knife | Slaughter (Field-Tested) carries the finish's zebra-stripe base and tomato red candy coat at its most worn available grade. Field-Tested is the bottom of this three-grade finish, making it the most accessible way to own the pattern.

Design

A zebra-stripe layer of aluminum and chrome paints sits underneath a tomato red candy coat, giving the blade its signature look. The flavor line reads "Valeria doesn't pay Javier to ask questions... she pays him to pry out answers." The exact placement of the red spatter comes down to the paint seed, and a tight, centered cluster is the layout that carries the biggest premium.

★ Classic Knife | Slaughter (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

This finish never reaches past a 0.26 float ceiling, so Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested are the only three grades that exist — there's no Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred, and this finish's roughest grade still lands milder than a full-range skin's worst wear. Field-Tested spans roughly 0.15–0.26 on the float scale, the highest band this finish reaches.

Classic Knife | Slaughter Rarity

This finish carries Covert ★ rarity, the gold-tier rare special tag that separates knives from the usual weapon rarity system. Every grade, including this one, shares that same rare-drop distinction.

Classic Knife | Slaughter Case and Collection

Slaughter is obtained from the CS20 Case, where knife pulls of any finish land at roughly 0.26% odds. No confirmed release date is attached to the finish beyond that case.

Classic Knife | Slaughter Patterns

Every copy's red spatter placement traces back to its paint seed, which is set for good the moment the copy is created. A clean, centered heart or tight cluster is the pattern collectors pay the most for, well ahead of scattered or off-center spray. Because wear grade never touches that seed, a great pattern on a Field-Tested copy holds the same standing it would at any other grade.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak version of this knife tracks kills with a counter that becomes permanent once active, and it exists at this grade just as it does at the others. There's no Souvenir version anywhere in this finish's lineup, since knives never appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages.

Classic Knife | Slaughter Price

Field-Tested is the cheapest grade on this finish's three-step ladder, sitting below both Factory New and Minimal Wear. Slaughter still ranks mid-tier among this knife's finishes overall, so it remains a premium item even at its most accessible grade, especially with a strong spatter pattern. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Field-Tested Slaughter worth it over the pricier grades?

If the pattern is strong, yes — a clean, centered spatter carries the same value regardless of grade, since the paint seed never changes with wear. Field-Tested is simply the most affordable route to that same pattern, trading a little surface polish for a lower price.

What is the best Classic Knife Slaughter pattern?

A tight, centered heart-shaped spatter is the top-regarded layout, trading well above scattered or off-center copies. That pattern is fixed by the paint seed for life, so it applies exactly the same to a Field-Tested copy as to a Factory New one.

What's the most accessible Slaughter grade?

Field-Tested sits at the bottom of this finish's own three-grade ladder, making it the most accessible entry point — though Slaughter as a whole still ranks mid-tier among this knife's finishes, so "accessible" here is relative rather than cheap.
