★ Shadow Daggers | Slaughter (Field-Tested)

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Slaughter (Field-Tested) still shows off the tomato red candy coat over a zebra-stripe aluminum-and-chrome base, with the spatter pattern falling into its own unique shape per copy. Field-Tested is the most worn grade this particular finish reaches, sitting at the high-float end of a fairly narrow range.

Design

A zebra-stripe layer of aluminum and chrome paints sits under a tomato red candy coat that gives the blades their signature look. It ships with the flavor line "Valeria doesn't pay Javier to ask questions... she pays him to pry out answers."

★ Shadow Daggers | Slaughter (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Slaughter's float only spans 0.01 to 0.26, well short of the usual 1.00 ceiling most skins run to, so even Field-Tested — the most worn grade this finish reaches — stays noticeably milder than a Battle-Scarred copy of a full-range knife. Field-Tested covers the top of that range, roughly 0.15–0.26.

Shadow Daggers | Slaughter Rarity

As a Covert ★ item, the Slaughter is a rare special ("knife") drop rather than a normal weapon skin, ranking above every ordinary grade in its case. That rarity tier doesn't shift based on wear grade.

Shadow Daggers | Slaughter Case and Collection

The Shadow Case is the only source for this finish, with no wider spread across other boxes. The rare-special tier overall drops at about 0.26% of case openings, so most Field-Tested copies in circulation came from the market rather than a fresh unbox.

Shadow Daggers | Slaughter Patterns

Every Slaughter copy gets its own red spatter layout over the zebra-stripe base, decided by the paint seed rather than any fixed template. The prize patterns are the ones where the spatter forms a clean, centered heart or gathers into a tight cluster, and those beat out scattered layouts on price. That pattern locks in for good the moment the skin is created, so a Field-Tested copy with a strong layout still shows it clearly despite the extra wear.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ edition of this knife exists and keeps a permanent, running kill count through every future owner. Souvenir versions were never produced, as knives are excluded from Major-tournament souvenir packages entirely.

Shadow Daggers | Slaughter Price

Field-Tested is the most accessible of the Slaughter's three grades, priced below both Minimal Wear and Factory New, though the finish as a whole still ranks in the upper-mid range among this knife's finishes. Pattern quality can still push an individual Field-Tested copy well above a plain one. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What's the cheapest way to pick up a Shadow Daggers Slaughter?

Field-Tested is the most accessible of the finish's three available grades, priced below Minimal Wear and Factory New. The finish is still a premium knife overall, so "cheapest" here means the most accessible entry point rather than a budget option.

Is the Slaughter worth buying at Field-Tested?

Yes, especially if pattern matters more to you than absolute float — since Slaughter's range tops out at 0.26 rather than 1.00, Field-Tested still looks fairly close to the cleaner grades. A well-centered heart pattern at this grade can outshine a plain Factory New on looks alone.

Can I get a StatTrak Shadow Daggers Slaughter?

Yes, the StatTrak™ version is available and permanently tracks confirmed kills, carrying that count through any future trade or sale. There's no Souvenir edition, since knives are never distributed through Major-tournament souvenir packages.
