★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter (Field-Tested)

The ★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter (Field-Tested) is a Covert ★ knife finish wrapped in a zebra-stripe aluminum-and-chrome base under a tomato-red candy coat. Field-Tested is the most worn grade this finish reaches, though it stays far milder than a full-range knife carrying the same label.

Design

Underneath the red candy coat, the base is a zebra-stripe pattern painted with aluminum and chrome paints at differing reflectivities, and that metallic striping still shows through at this grade. It carries the flavor line "Valeria doesn't pay Javier to ask questions... she pays him to pry out answers."

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

Slaughter's float only runs from 0.01 to 0.26, well inside the usual 0.00–1.00 scale, so Field-Tested here is nowhere near as rough as a Field-Tested tag on a full-range skin. Some added wear does soften the edge definition and mutes the candy coat a touch next to the cleaner grades. On the float scale, Field-Tested spans 0.15–0.26.

Nomad Knife | Slaughter Rarity

This is Covert ★ rarity, the rare special ("knife") tier that outranks every regular Covert weapon skin in a case's drop table. Getting one at all is the scarce part — the wear grade is a separate matter entirely.

Nomad Knife | Slaughter Case and Collection

No single collection claims this finish; it's an original knife design available from the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case. That rare-special tier lands at about 0.26% per case, so most copies change hands on the market rather than coming from a fresh pull.

Nomad Knife Slaughter Patterns

Pattern placement drives Slaughter's value more than wear grade does — the paint seed decides where the red spatter sits, and copies with a centered heart shape or a tight cluster command a real premium over scattered ones. That layout is permanent from the moment the skin generates and doesn't change as the blade wears further. Even at Field-Tested, a top pattern can be worth chasing over a less-worn copy with a weak spread. There's no numeric score attached — the spatter's shape is the whole story.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ edition of this knife exists and permanently logs confirmed kills across every trade. No Souvenir version was ever made — knives don't appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages, period.

Nomad Knife | Slaughter Price

Field-Tested sits at the bottom of the Slaughter's own price ladder, behind both Factory New and Minimal Wear, though the finish as a whole still lands in the mid-tier range among this knife's lineup. It's the most accessible way into a Slaughter, and a great pattern can still close the gap with less-worn grades. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Field-Tested a big downgrade on the Nomad Knife Slaughter?

Not dramatically. Since Slaughter's float only reaches 0.26 at most, Field-Tested here looks nowhere near as rough as it would on a full-range skin — the wear is noticeable but mild, and the candy-red spatter still reads well on the blade.

Does the pattern still matter at Field-Tested on the Nomad Knife Slaughter?

Yes. The paint seed that decides where the spatter lands doesn't change with wear, so a Field-Tested copy with a centered heart shape or a tight cluster can still outsell a cleaner grade with a scattered pattern.

What's the cheapest way to own a Nomad Knife Slaughter?

Field-Tested is the most accessible grade of this finish, sitting below Factory New and Minimal Wear on its own price ladder, though the Slaughter overall still ranks in the mid-tier range among this knife's finishes. A weaker pattern on the same grade brings the price down further still.
