★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Slaughter (Minimal Wear)

What the StatTrak™ counter does

The ★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Slaughter (Minimal Wear, MW) is the StatTrak™ copy of this skin — the same Covert ★ finish, the same look, with a kill counter built into the model. This finish starts life as a zebra-stripe base painted in aluminum and chrome at different reflectivities, then gets covered in a red candy coat that lets flashes of that metallic striping peek through. Minimal Wear covers 0.07–0.15 on the float scale, a step below Factory New, with wear that stays hard to spot at a glance.

What StatTrak™ changes about the price of the Karambit | Slaughter

The counter logs every confirmed kill you get with it and keeps the running total on the model. It belongs to the item and not to your account, so it travels with the skin through every trade and sale, and nothing sets it back to zero. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows.

Where a StatTrak™ copy comes from

A StatTrak™ copy is far scarcer than a plain one at the same finish and exterior, so it normally costs more. How much more follows the finish and the float rather than the number on the counter — a high kill count is a curiosity, not a price driver.

FAQ

There's no single collection behind this finish — Slaughter counts as one of the original knife designs and has dropped from a long run of cases, the CS:GO Weapon Case and Revolver Case among them. StatTrak™ is settled at the drop: a copy either leaves the case with a counter or never has one, and it cannot be added afterwards.

Can the StatTrak counter on the Karambit | Slaughter be reset?

No. The count only moves one way and stays with the item through every trade and sale. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows. It still cannot lower the number.

Does StatTrak change how the Karambit | Slaughter looks?

No, apart from the counter on the model. The finish, the pattern and the float range are identical to the plain version, so at the same exterior the two look the same in hand.
