★ Navaja Knife | Slaughter (Factory New)

★ Navaja Knife | Slaughter in Factory New (FN) is a CS2 navaja with red lacquer and a marbled handle. It has Covert rank, with the ★ mark, and the finish comes from the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case. There are three wears: Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested, because the scale stops at 0.26. This wear of the ★ Navaja Knife | Slaughter lies between 0.01 and 0.07.

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

The blade is broad, with a hooked tip. A translucent red lacquer the color of a ripe tomato covers it, and darker zebra-like stripes are barely visible beneath. The metal frame of the handle carries the same red and is drawn together by a screw. The handle itself is marbled, amber-orange with russet veins.

In Factory New the lacquer is intact along the whole blade and on the frame. By Valve's description, the stripes are applied in aluminum and chrome paint of differing reflectivity, with a red candy coat on top. Wear takes the tip of the blade and the edge of the frame first, but here there is none of it yet.

What to check before buying

Before paying for the ★ Navaja Knife | Slaughter, it is useful to check:

• float: the wear spans only 0.06 of the scale, from 0.01 to 0.07, and the lower edge of the finish is cut at 0.01;


• a name tag: the navaja has one, and no stickers;


• the red lacquer on the tip and the frame, from the photo of the listing.

For this knife the stretch from 0.01 to 0.07 is a short one, so the margin of error swallows the difference between listings.

What the ★ Navaja Knife | Slaughter costs in Factory New

Here the wear moves the price only slightly. Factory New costs 1.14 times what Minimal Wear does and 1.05 times what Field-Tested does, so the top wear asks only a small premium.

Among Covert navaja finishes the ★ Navaja Knife | Slaughter in this wear sits in the bottom quarter of a table of twenty. Only Damascus Steel, Tiger Tooth and Marble Fade are cheaper. Above it come Fade, Night Stripe and Doppler Phase 1. The priciest are Crimson Web, Doppler Black Pearl and Doppler Ruby.

• your CS2 loadout is built around a red palette, and the marbled handle adds a warm spot.
