★ Survival Knife | Slaughter (Field-Tested)

The ★ Survival Knife | Slaughter (Field-Tested, FT) is a Covert ★ knife finish carrying a zebra-stripe aluminum-and-chrome base under a tomato-red candy coat. Field-Tested is the most worn grade this finish reaches, though it stays far milder than a full-range knife carrying the same label.

Design

Underneath the candy-red top coat sits a zebra-stripe pattern painted in aluminum and chrome paints of varying reflectivity, and that metallic striping still shows through at this grade. It carries the flavor line "Valeria doesn't pay Javier to ask questions... she pays him to pry out answers."

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

Slaughter's float only runs from 0.01 to 0.26, comfortably inside the usual 0.00–1.00 scale, so Field-Tested here looks nowhere near as rough as it would on a full-range skin — this finish simply never reaches a heavily battered state. Some extra wear does soften edge definition and mutes the candy coat slightly next to the cleaner grades. On the float scale, Field-Tested spans 0.15–0.26.

Survival Knife | Slaughter Rarity

This is Covert ★ rarity, the rare special ("knife") tier sitting above every regular Covert weapon skin in a case's drop table. Getting one at all is the scarce outcome — wear grade is a completely separate matter.

Survival Knife | Slaughter Case and Collection

No single collection claims this finish; it comes out of the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case. That whole rare-special tier lands at about 0.26% per case, so market purchases far outnumber fresh pulls.

Survival Knife Slaughter Patterns

Pattern placement drives Slaughter's value more than wear grade ever does — the paint seed decides where the red spatter sits, and copies showing a clean, centered heart shape or a tight cluster command a real premium over scattered spreads. That layout is permanent from the moment the skin is generated and doesn't budge as the blade wears further. Even at Field-Tested, a top-tier pattern can be worth chasing over a cleaner copy with a weak spread.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ edition of this knife exists and permanently logs confirmed kills across every trade. No Souvenir version was ever made — knives don't appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages, period.

Survival Knife | Slaughter Price

Field-Tested sits at the bottom of the Slaughter's own price ladder, behind Factory New (FN) and Minimal Wear (MW), though the finish as a whole still ranks in grail-tier territory among this knife's lineup. It's the most accessible way into a Slaughter, and a great pattern can still close the gap with cleaner grades. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Field-Tested a big downgrade on the Survival Knife Slaughter?

Not dramatically. Since Slaughter's float tops out at 0.26, Field-Tested here looks nowhere near as rough as it would on a full-range skin — the wear is noticeable but mild, and the candy-red spatter still reads clearly across the blade.

What is the best Survival Knife Slaughter pattern?

Copies with a clean, centered heart shape or a tightly bunched cluster of red spatter are the most desirable and sell for a premium over scattered patterns. That look comes entirely from the paint seed, so it's locked in for the copy's life whether you buy Factory New or Field-Tested.

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

Field-Tested is the most accessible grade of this finish, sitting below Factory New and Minimal Wear on its own price ladder, though the Slaughter overall still ranks in grail-tier territory among this knife's finishes. A weaker pattern on the same grade brings the price down further still.
