Classic Knife | Slaughter (Field-Tested)
A classic of the Counter-Strike series, the edge of this knife is press-fit Stellite perfectly held in place due to its precise fit with the titanium on the blade's cheek and spine. The handle is fossilized mastodon ivory held in a carbon fibre pocket. It has been painted in a zebra-stripe pattern with aluminum and chrome paints with various reflectivities, and has then been covered with a tomato red candy coat.

Description
The Classic Knife | Slaughter is a long-standing favorite in the Counter-Strike skin lineup, originally introduced in the CS:GO era and carried into the CS2 ecosystem with its CS:GO (legacy) model. The Slaughter finish is known for its aggressive, high-contrast look, making this knife a standout choice for players who want a design that feels instantly recognizable in matches.
As a Covert rarity skin, the Classic Knife | Slaughter is considered highly desirable. Covert knives are typically among the least common weapon skins to acquire, and while exact drop chances are not publicly guaranteed in a consistent way across all systems, the overall rarity tier indicates that it is far less likely to appear than lower-grade finishes. Your odds generally depend on the opening item (case), the random drop pool, and the specific container rules at the time of opening.
This skin is available in these wear versions, based on the provided float range (0.01–0.26): Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested. StatTrak is available (Yes), allowing you to track kills with the knife. Souvenir is not available (No), and the skin is not listed as part of any collection found in-game for this specific item.
Visually, Slaughter is defined by its striking, stylized patterning—often described by the community as bold, “wild,” and aggressively colored compared to more uniform knife finishes. The skin’s appearance is tied to its pattern layout and paint index 59, contributing to the overall look and variation you may notice between wears.
In terms of acquisition, the Classic Knife | Slaughter can be found from the CS20 Case. If you’re specifically targeting this knife, opening that case (or obtaining it via third-party trading markets) is the most direct route. Because knives of this caliber are heavily sought after, listings and interest can be consistently high.
Community perception of the Classic Knife | Slaughter is strongly positive: it’s widely viewed as an iconic, high-impact upgrade compared to more understated knife finishes. For many players, its Covert rarity combined with the distinct Slaughter styling makes it a “showpiece” knife—one that tends to be noticed immediately during gameplay and in inventory showcases.
