★ Ursus Knife | Slaughter (Minimal Wear)

★ Ursus Knife | Slaughter in Minimal Wear (MW) is the Ursus finish in CS2 with a red-and-pink zebra pattern on the blade. It has Covert rank, and the knife carries the star. Both the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case carry it. The finish has three wears, from Factory New to Field-Tested: its float scale runs from 0.01 to 0.26 and goes no further.

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

Valve describes the Ursus as a tanto-style survival knife: a faceted blade, a full tang running the length of the handle and a striking pommel. The blade is straight, with an angled cut at the tip. The lacquer is red, and zebra stripes curve across the flat, light pink-red ones alternating with dark crimson. A serrated section runs along the cutting edge near the guard. The guard and pommel are black, and the handle is ribbed olive-green rubber.

In Minimal Wear the float lies between 0.07 and 0.15. The first marks settle on the tip of the blade and on the cutting edge, while the zebra pattern stays whole.

Where the ★ Ursus Knife | Slaughter came from

The Horizon Case was the first to carry this finish. On December 7, 2018 Valve released the Danger Zone Case, and its update notes single out the Horizon knives. Since that day the finish has had two cases.

What to check before buying

Before taking the ★ Ursus Knife | Slaughter, look at these points:

• float: the 0.07 to 0.15 spread is so small that choosing by float makes no sense;


• a name tag: if a previous owner signed the knife, the name passes to the new owner together with the item;


• edition: the StatTrak variant is a separate item with a price of its own;


• the wear in the listing title: Factory New differs from Minimal Wear by only a few percent.

What the ★ Ursus Knife | Slaughter costs in Minimal Wear

For this finish Minimal Wear and Field-Tested cost almost the same, and Factory New is about six percent dearer. All three wears sit in a narrow price corridor.

Among Covert Ursus finishes, Slaughter runs level with Crimson Web and Tiger Tooth. Marble Fade costs about a sixth more, while Case Hardened and Ultraviolet cost less. The top of the rank belongs to Doppler: Phase 2, Sapphire and Ruby. The cheapest finishes, Safari Mesh, Boreal Forest and Forest DDPAT, cost about a third of what Slaughter does.

Getting the ★ Ursus Knife | Slaughter

This knife drops from the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case, and the wear is random at the drop. There is a craft as well: a contract of five Covert skins from one collection returns a random rare special item, and neither model, finish nor wear can be set. For a specific wear, go straight to the finished listings.

Is there a StatTrak version

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

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ Ursus Knife | Slaughter in Minimal Wear is worth it for these reasons:

• you want a red zebra blade with an olive handle, and a premium for Factory New is not justified;


• the price of Minimal Wear almost equals Field-Tested, though its float is lower;


• your CS2 loadout is built around red, and a green handle goes well with it.
