★ Karambit | Slaughter (Field-Tested)

The ★ Karambit | 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's far milder than a full-range knife at the same label.

Design

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

★ Karambit | Slaughter (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Slaughter's float only runs from 0.01 to 0.26, well inside the usual 0.00–1.00 scale, so Field-Tested here is nowhere near as rough as a Field-Tested on a full-range skin — this finish simply never reaches a heavily battered look. Some added wear does soften the edge definition and mutes the candy coat a touch compared with the cleaner grades. On the float scale, Field-Tested spans 0.15–0.26.

Karambit | Slaughter Rarity

This is Covert ★ rarity, the rare special ("knife") tier that towers above regular Covert weapon skins in a case's drop table. Getting one at all is the rare part — the wear grade is a separate matter entirely.

Karambit | Slaughter Case and Collection

No single collection claims this finish; it's an original knife design spread across a long run of cases, including the CS:GO Weapon Case and the Revolver Case. That whole rare-special tier lands at about 0.26% per case, so market purchases are far more common than fresh pulls.

Karambit Slaughter Patterns

Pattern placement drives Slaughter value more than wear grade does — the paint seed decides where the red spatter sits, and copies with a clean, centered heart shape or a tight cluster command a real premium over scattered ones. 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.

Karambit | Slaughter Price

Field-Tested sits at the bottom of the Slaughter's own price ladder, behind both Factory New (FN) and Minimal Wear (MW), though the finish as a whole still lands in the upper-mid range 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 Karambit Slaughter?

Not dramatically. Since Slaughter's float only reaches 0.26 at most, 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 on the blade.

What is the best Karambit 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 and doesn't change whether you buy Factory New or Field-Tested.

What's the cheapest way to own a Karambit 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 the upper-mid range among this knife's finishes. A weaker pattern on the same grade brings the price down further still.
