★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter (Factory New)

The ★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish built around a zebra-striped aluminum-and-chrome base sealed under a tomato-red candy coat. Factory New is the least-worn grade it comes in, keeping that red spatter pattern easiest to read.

Design

This finish starts as a zebra-stripe base painted in aluminum and chrome at differing reflectivities, then gets sealed beneath a candy-red coat that still lets some of that metallic striping show through. It carries the flavor line "Valeria doesn't pay Javier to ask questions... she pays him to pry out answers."

★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter (Factory New) Float and Wear

Slaughter's float runs from 0.01 to 0.26, so even its most worn copies stay well short of a fully battered 1.0 skin. Factory New sits at the low end of that band, keeping the red spatter and the metallic base beneath it sharp and legible. In float terms, this grade covers 0.01–0.07.

Nomad Knife | Slaughter Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — the gold-tier rare special ("knife") slot, not a standard Covert weapon skin. Pulling one from a case is already the scarce outcome, long before wear factors in.

Nomad Knife | Slaughter Case and Collection

Slaughter isn't tied to a single collection — it's an original knife finish available from the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case. The rare-special ("knife") tier as a whole drops at roughly 0.26% per case opening, which is why most buyers pick up a copy on the market instead of chasing a pull.

Nomad Knife Slaughter Patterns

What separates a great Slaughter isn't the wear grade — it's where the candy-red spatter lands, since the paint seed decides that for every individual copy. Copies where the spatter forms a clean, centered heart shape or gathers into a tight cluster on the blade are the most sought-after, and they carry a real premium over pieces where the red scatters thin. That placement locks in the moment the skin generates and never shifts as the knife wears, so a Factory New with a weak pattern can end up worth less than a rougher grade with a strong one. There's no percentage or seed number attached to Slaughter — the pattern is judged purely by how the spatter looks.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists, tracking confirmed kills permanently through every trade. There's no Souvenir version — knives are never included in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of case or finish.

Nomad Knife | Slaughter Price

Factory New leads the Slaughter's own price ladder ahead of Minimal Wear and Field-Tested, and the finish overall lands in the mid-tier range among this knife's finishes — a premium pick just the same. A strong, centered pattern can push an individual copy well past the average price for the grade. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What cases is the Nomad Knife Slaughter in?

It comes from two sources — the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case. With two cases carrying it, most buyers still pick up their Slaughter on the market rather than farming either box for the roughly 0.26% knife pull rate.

What is the best Nomad Knife Slaughter pattern?

Look for a copy where the red spatter forms a clean, centered heart shape or gathers into a tight cluster on the blade — those patterns are the most sought-after and sell for a premium over scattered spreads. The paint seed fixes that placement for good, so it stays the same whether you buy Factory New or a more worn grade.

What are the best gloves for the Nomad Knife | Slaughter?

Since the candy-red coat leans warm and bold, deep red or black gloves pair with it best without clashing against the metallic striping underneath. A neutral black pair also works if you'd rather let the blade's pattern stand out on its own. For the best Nomad Knife Slaughter glove combo, echo those warm tones rather than fighting them.
