★ Gut Knife | Slaughter (Factory New)

The ★ Gut Knife | Slaughter (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish built from a zebra-stripe base in aluminum and chrome paints under a tomato red candy coat. Factory New sits at the low-float end of the finish's range, the crispest grade for reading exactly where that red spatter lands.

Design

Slaughter starts life as a zebra-stripe pattern laid down in aluminum and chrome paints with different reflectivities, then gets covered in a tomato red candy coat that lets flashes of that striping show through. Every copy carries the flavor line "Valeria doesn't pay Javier to ask questions... she pays him to pry out answers."

★ Gut Knife | Slaughter (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish runs a 0.01–0.26 float range across its three available grades. Factory New covers roughly 0.01–0.07 on that scale — the lowest-float, sharpest-edged grade this finish comes in — so the red coat and the aluminum striping beneath it both read at their most saturated.

Gut Knife | Slaughter Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — this is the gold-tier rare special ("knife") slot, not an ordinary Covert weapon skin, and it sits above every regular grade a case can produce. Landing one at all is the scarce part, before wear even factors in.

Gut Knife | Slaughter Case and Collection

Slaughter isn't tied to a single collection — it's one of the original knife finishes and has turned up in a long list of cases, including the CS:GO Weapon Case and the Revolver Case among several others. The rare-special ("knife") tier as a whole pulls at about 0.26% per case opening, which is why most buyers just pick one up on the market.

Gut Knife | Slaughter Patterns

The candy-red spatter lands differently on every copy, since it's driven by the paint seed baked in when the skin is generated. Copies where the spatter forms a clean, centered heart shape or gathers into a tight cluster on the blade are the most sought-after, carrying a real premium over copies where the red scatters loosely across the steel. That layout is fixed for the copy's whole life and never shifts with wear — a Factory New with a strong heart pattern shows it just as clearly as any other grade would. There's no "blue gem" chase here, just hunting for that centered spatter.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists and tracks confirmed kills permanently, with that count carrying through any trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version at all — knives are never included in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of case or collection.

Gut Knife | Slaughter Price

Factory New sits toward the top of the Slaughter's own price ladder, ahead of the more worn grades, and lands in the mid-tier range among this knife's finishes as a whole — a premium item either way, with a strong centered 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

How do I get the Gut Knife Slaughter?

It isn't locked to one case — Slaughter is among the original knife finishes and has dropped from a long list of cases over the years, including the CS:GO Weapon Case and the Revolver Case. Given that spread and the roughly 0.26% rare-special pull rate, most buyers simply pick one up on the market instead of opening cases for it.

What is the best Gut Knife Slaughter pattern?

Look for a copy where the red spatter forms a clean, centered heart shape or gathers into a tight cluster rather than scattering loosely across the blade. That layout is set by the paint seed and stays fixed for the item's whole life, so it never changes as the knife wears — check the pattern before buying rather than assuming a pricier listing means a better one.

What are the best gloves for the Gut Knife | Slaughter?

The tomato red candy coat pairs naturally with red or crimson gloves for a matched loadout, while black or dark gray gloves let the striping and red spatter stand out on their own without competing for attention. For the best Gut Knife Slaughter glove combo, leaning into red tones is the safer, more cohesive pick.
