★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter (Factory New)

★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter in Factory New (FN) is a tomato-red CS2 blade with dark zebra stripes. It has Covert rank, with the ★ mark, and this finish of the Nomad drops from the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case. The finish comes in three wears: the scale runs from 0.01 to 0.26, trimmed on both sides, and Factory New takes 0.01 to 0.07.

What the ★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter looks like in Factory New

The blade is wide, with a convex edge, and covered in red lacquer. Dark red stripes cross it with breaks in the line, like chevrons. Valve describes the finish as a zebra pattern of aluminum and chrome paint sealed under a tomato-red coating. The handle is gray steel with a black insert and a red edging along its borders.

This wear of the ★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter is given a float of 0.01 to 0.07. The red lacquer over the chrome goes first at the pointed end and on the convex part of the edge. In Factory New there is not a single mark there, and the wear of a copy is recorded when it drops.

Where the ★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter came from

Valve introduced the Nomad model on November 19, 2019, when Operation Shattered Web brought four new knives at once. The Slaughter finish lies in two cases: the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case.

What to check before buying

Choosing a particular ★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter comes down to these points:

• the wear in the listing title: Minimal Wear and Field-Tested are each about a tenth cheaper than Factory New;


• a name tag: it goes onto the Nomad, while stickers cannot be attached to the knife;


• the edition: the StatTrak version is listed as a separate item;


• float: with the 0.01 to 0.07 stretch this short, there is almost nothing to choose from.

What the ★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter costs in Factory New

The steps go downward here: Minimal Wear and Field-Tested are each a tenth below the top wear, and they cost the same as each other.

Among Nomad finishes Slaughter is mid-table: eight are cheaper and thirteen cost more. Ultraviolet is a fifth higher, Blue Steel a sixth and Fade a ninth. Stained and Marble Fade are a few percent lower, and Safari Mesh is two fifths cheaper. Doppler Sapphire costs three times as much, Doppler Ruby nearly five times and Doppler Black Pearl more than five.

Getting the ★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter

The ★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter falls from the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case, and the wear is dealt at random on opening. A contract turns five Covert skins of one collection into a rare special item, but the model and finish are not yours to pick. The Nomad you want is bought as a ready listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

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

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter in Factory New specifically is reasonable when:

• you want a red blade with an untouched edge and intact lacquer at the tip;


• your CS2 loadout is built on red and steel, and the red edging on the handle echoes the blade;


• the premium over Minimal Wear and Field-Tested is small, and the top wear plainly looks better.
