★ Butterfly Knife | Slaughter (Field-Tested)

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Slaughter (Field-Tested, FT) is the most worn grade this Covert ★ finish reaches, still built on the same zebra-stripe base under a tomato-red candy coat. Field-Tested sits at the top of the finish's own float range, giving the widest look at how the red spatter can appear.

Design

Zebra-stripe layers of aluminum and chrome paint sit beneath a candy-red coat here too, with the metallic base coming through in patches depending on the copy. The flavor text on this finish reads "Valeria doesn't pay Javier to ask questions... she pays him to pry out answers."

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

Slaughter's float caps out at 0.26, well short of the 1.0 a full-range skin can reach, so Field-Tested here is nowhere near as rough as Field-Tested looks on most other finishes. It's the top of this finish's ladder — as worn as a Slaughter gets — but the red coat still holds solid color rather than fading into dullness. In float terms, this grade runs 0.15–0.26.

Butterfly Knife | Slaughter Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — the gold-tier rare-special ("knife") slot, not an ordinary Covert weapon skin. That tier is scarce regardless of which wear grade a given copy lands on.

Butterfly Knife | Slaughter Case and Collection

This finish is a drop from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case, part of the rare-special tier that as a whole shows up in roughly 0.26% of openings. Most players buy in on the market rather than chase that rate directly.

Butterfly Knife | Slaughter Patterns

The paint seed on a Slaughter decides how the red spatter spreads, and it varies a lot between individual copies. A clean, centered heart or a tight cluster is the prize look and sells for a real premium over scattered, thin coverage. That pattern locks in permanently at creation and doesn't shift with wear, so a Field-Tested copy with a great pattern keeps it for life. Since this finish never gets past a Field-Tested-level float, even the most worn copies show their pattern with reasonable clarity.

Butterfly Knife | Slaughter Price

Field-Tested is the most accessible grade on the Slaughter's own ladder, sitting below Minimal Wear (MW) and Factory New (FN), though the finish as a whole still lands mid-tier among this knife's finishes. A standout pattern can lift an individual Field-Tested copy above a plain-patterned Minimal Wear. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What's the best pattern to chase on a Field-Tested Butterfly Knife Slaughter?

The same rule applies at every wear: a clean, centered heart shape or a tight cluster of red spatter is the prize, and it carries a premium over scattered, thin coverage. Since the pattern is fixed by the paint seed and never changes with wear, a well-patterned Field-Tested copy can still be a smart pickup over a plain Minimal Wear.

Is Field-Tested a big step down from the cleaner Slaughter grades?

Less than you'd think. Because this finish is capped at a 0.26 float, Field-Tested here isn't nearly as worn as Field-Tested looks on a full-range skin — the red coat still holds solid, even color rather than fading out.

Is the Butterfly Knife Slaughter worth buying at Field-Tested?

It's the most accessible entry point into this finish, and since the pattern matters more to value than the wear grade does, a Field-Tested copy with a strong red spatter layout can be a better buy than a plain-patterned Minimal Wear. It's a solid way to own the Slaughter's signature red-on-chrome look without paying peak price.
