★ Bowie Knife | Slaughter (Field-Tested)

The ★ Bowie Knife | Slaughter (Field-Tested) is a Covert ★ knife finish, its zebra-stripe aluminum and chrome base sitting under a tomato red candy coat. Field-Tested is the most worn grade this finish reaches, though the float cap keeps it from ever looking rough.

Design

Aluminum and chrome paints laid down in a zebra-stripe pattern form the base, and a tomato red candy coat over the top is what gives the finish its name and color. The flavor text reads "Valeria doesn't pay Javier to ask questions... she pays him to pry out answers."

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

Slaughter is capped between 0.01 and 0.26 on the float scale, so Field-Tested — while the top-worn grade on offer — never reaches the beat-up look a full-range 1.00 finish would show at this wear. That's noticeably milder than Battle-Scarred or Well-Worn on a skin without a float cap. This grade spans roughly 0.15–0.26, where the red coat starts to show visible texture and a bit of muting.

Bowie Knife | Slaughter Rarity

Slaughter carries Covert ★ rarity, the rare-special ("knife") classification that stands apart from and above every regular Covert weapon skin. Rarity here is fixed by the item type, not by wear.

Bowie Knife | Slaughter Case and Collection

There's a single source for this finish, the Operation Wildfire Case, rather than a wide net of boxes. Across all cases that carry a rare-special slot, the pull rate sits around 0.26%, which pushes most buyers toward the market instead of the gamble.

Bowie Knife | Slaughter Patterns

Every copy's red spatter lands in a different spot thanks to the paint seed baked in at creation. A clean, centered heart shape or a tightly bunched cluster is what collectors pay a premium for, while a thin, scattered spread sells for less. Wear doesn't touch this at all — the pattern locked in on day one is the pattern that stays, whether the knife is Factory New or Field-Tested. Think of it as a spatter-quality chase rather than a blue-gem hunt.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ edition exists for this knife too, tallying confirmed kills for good once equipped. Souvenir versions were never produced, as knives are excluded entirely from Major-tournament souvenir packages.

Bowie Knife | Slaughter Price

Field-Tested is the most affordable of the Slaughter's three grades, though the finish overall still holds an upper-mid spot among this knife's lineup. A well-placed heart or cluster pattern can narrow that gap with pricier grades considerably. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Field-Tested a big step down in looks on this finish?

Less than you'd expect. Because the float cap tops out at 0.26, Field-Tested only shows moderate surface texture instead of the heavy wear a full-range skin would carry at this grade — Slaughter never reaches a genuinely rough look on any copy.

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

Field-Tested is the most affordable of the three available grades, sitting below Minimal Wear and Factory New on the price ladder. The finish as a whole still ranks upper-mid among this knife's skins, so "cheapest" here still means a genuinely premium item.

Does the pattern on a Field-Tested Slaughter differ from a Factory New one?

No — the red spatter pattern is set by the paint seed at creation and stays exactly the same no matter which wear grade the copy ends up as. A Field-Tested copy with a clean heart pattern still carries that same premium look, just with a touch more surface texture than a Factory New would show.
