★ Butterfly Knife | Slaughter (Minimal Wear)

★ Butterfly Knife | Slaughter in Minimal Wear (MW) is a red CS2 butterfly with a zebra pattern over pale metal. It has Covert rank, with the ★ mark, and it has a single source: the Operation Breakout Weapon Case. The float scale runs from 0.01 to 0.26, which leaves three wears: Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested. Minimal Wear is given the band from 0.07 to 0.15, nearly a third of the whole scale.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Slaughter looks like in Minimal Wear

Valve describes the finish this way: the zebra stripes are laid down in aluminum and chrome paint of differing reflectivity, with a tomato-red lacquer over them. On the blade that comes out as a red field crossed by dark diagonal stripes. The handles are black, with a red stripe down each half, and the latch is red.

In Minimal Wear the first marks settle on the tip of the blade and the raised ridges of the handles. Wear is fixed at the drop, so a copy with a float of 0.07 and one with 0.15 both stay exactly as they fell.

Where the ★ Butterfly Knife | Slaughter came from

Slaughter is a finish from 2014. It appeared on the butterfly together with the model itself and the Operation Breakout Weapon Case, and the finish has no other case.

What to check before buying

Before taking a ★ Butterfly Knife | Slaughter, it helps to look at these points:

• float: there is little to choose from on this score, since the 0.07 to 0.15 stretch is short;


• edition: the StatTrak version is a separate listing;


• a name tag: the knife takes a name of your own, but stickers cannot be applied.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Slaughter costs in Minimal Wear

Factory New costs about ten percent more than Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested seven percent less. The gap between neighboring wears is small.

Among butterfly finishes in Minimal Wear, Slaughter stands below Marble Fade, which costs a quarter more, and Tiger Tooth, which costs an eighth more. Crimson Web and Autotronic are 13 to 15 percent cheaper, and Case Hardened a quarter cheaper.

Getting the ★ Butterfly Knife | Slaughter

The knife falls from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case, and the wear is dealt at random. The other way in is a contract: five Covert skins of one collection give one rare special item, but neither the finish nor the wear is chosen on the way in. Go to the finished listings for the wear you need.

Is there a StatTrak version

A StatTrak version of the ★ Butterfly Knife | Slaughter exists in the game.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ Butterfly Knife | Slaughter in Minimal Wear is reasonable in these cases:

• you want a red butterfly with a striped pattern, and the Doppler gems are beyond your budget;


• your CS2 loadout is built on red and black;


• marks on the edge do not bother you, and the top wear costs more.
