★ Shadow Daggers | Slaughter (Factory New)

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Slaughter (Factory New) is a Covert ★ pair of blades finished in a zebra-stripe base under a tomato red candy coat, and the red spatter that lands on top falls into its own shape on every copy. Factory New is the lowest-float grade this finish reaches, so that candy-red spray reads at its most saturated here.

Design

Under the color, the blades are laid down in a zebra-stripe pattern using aluminum and chrome paints with different reflectivities, then finished with a deep tomato red candy coat over the top. It carries the flavor line "Valeria doesn't pay Javier to ask questions... she pays him to pry out answers."

★ Shadow Daggers | Slaughter (Factory New) Float and Wear

This finish runs a tighter float band than most, from 0.01 up to 0.26, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of that range, covering roughly 0.01–0.07. That puts it at the lowest-float, most detailed grade the Slaughter comes in, with the red spatter pattern rendering with maximum contrast against the base.

Shadow Daggers | Slaughter Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — the Slaughter isn't an ordinary Covert skin but the gold-tier rare special ("knife") item, the slot that outranks every standard weapon grade in its case. Landing one at all is the rare outcome, independent of which wear a given copy ends up on.

Shadow Daggers | Slaughter Case and Collection

This finish comes from a single source, the Shadow Case, rather than being spread across a wide catalog of boxes. The rare-special ("knife") tier as a whole lands at around 0.26% per opening, which is why most buyers pick theirs up on the market instead of chasing that pull.

Shadow Daggers | Slaughter Patterns

Slaughter isn't a fixed design — the candy-red spatter over the zebra-stripe base falls differently depending on the paint seed each copy is generated with. Copies where that spatter forms a clean, centered heart shape or bunches into a tight cluster across the blades are the most sought-after, and they carry a real premium over copies where the red scatters more randomly. That layout is locked in for the life of the copy and never shifts as it wears, so a Factory New with a strong heart pattern is about as good as this finish gets.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists, adding a permanent confirmed-kill counter that carries over through any trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version at all, because knives are never handed out in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of case or finish.

Shadow Daggers | Slaughter Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Slaughter's own price ladder, ahead of Minimal Wear and Field-Tested, and the finish overall lands in the upper-mid range among this knife's finishes — one of the pricier ways to own a pair of Shadow Daggers, with a strong heart-shaped pattern able to push an individual copy higher still. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What is the best Shadow Daggers Slaughter pattern?

Slaughter's candy-red spatter falls differently on every copy depending on the paint seed. Copies where the pattern forms a clean, centered heart or a tight cluster on the blades are the most sought-after and carry a premium over scattered ones. The pattern is fixed per copy and never changes with wear.

What are the best gloves for the Shadow Daggers | Slaughter?

Since the Slaughter leans hard into deep red over a dark base, gloves in a matching crimson or blood-red tone make the loadout read as a single set, and a black pair with red stitching works nearly as well if you want something less matchy. For the best Shadow Daggers Slaughter glove combo, lean into that red rather than pairing it with cool blues or greens.

What case is the Shadow Daggers Slaughter in?

It comes from a single box, the Shadow Case, rather than being scattered across several cases like some older knife finishes. That makes it a fairly predictable target if you're opening cases specifically to chase a knife, even though the odds themselves stay long.
