Bayonet | Slaughter

The ★ Bayonet | Slaughter is a CS2 knife skin with a reflective red blade and an irregular zebra-stripe pattern. Crimson and pink-red bands give the blade a busy appearance against an olive-gray handle. The look suits players who prefer vivid blade colors without a matching bright grip. Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested copies are available, including StatTrak™ versions, but there is no Souvenir edition.

Description

The ★ Bayonet | Slaughter applies an Anodized Multicolored finish to the Bayonet knife in CS2. Its red-striped blade is the main visual feature, while the grip and fittings stay in subdued gray and olive tones. The finish combines angular patches with sweeping bands rather than a single flat block of color. Bright reflective areas and a narrow gray cutting edge give the blade detail beyond its red palette. This makes it a fit for players who want an expressive knife while keeping the handle visually restrained. Professional owners include olofmeister, Zeus, and steel, giving the skin a documented connection to competitive players. Buyers can choose between standard and StatTrak copies across the available exteriors, depending on their preferred version. Individual listing images, float values, and exterior labels help distinguish the finish's patterned appearance from the condition of a particular copy.

History and Origin

The ★ Bayonet | Slaughter entered CS:GO on August 14, 2013, with the Arms Deal update. Its release container was the CS:GO Weapon Case. Valve created the skin, rather than a community designer. It also appears in the eSports 2013 Case, Operation Bravo Case, and CS:GO Weapon Case 2. Further sources include the eSports 2013 Winter Case, Winter Offensive Weapon Case, and CS:GO Weapon Case 3. The Operation Phoenix Weapon Case, eSports 2014 Summer Case, and Operation Vanguard Weapon Case also contain it. The Revolver Case is another route to obtaining the knife. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, and none of these source cases still drop as of October 9, 2026. Existing cases remain available to buy and open, while current owners can sell or trade the knife directly.

Finish Style

Slaughter uses the Anodized Multicolored finish style to give the blade a patterned metallic appearance. The striped base combines aluminum paint with chrome paint to produce contrasting reflections. A tomato-red candy layer gives that metallic treatment its dominant color. The resulting blade mixes darker crimson stripes with lighter pink-red bands. Angular patches and sweeping lines cover most of the blade's visible surface. The recessed groove catches bright highlights, while a dark oval opening remains visible near the tip. A thin gray cutting edge, muted gray crossguard, and gray end cap frame the red areas. The olive-gray handle has mottling and pronounced segmented ridges, giving the reflective blade a subdued visual counterpoint.

Float Value

The ★ Bayonet | Slaughter has a float range of 0.01 to 0.26. Its available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested, with no Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred copies. Standard and StatTrak versions are available, but no Souvenir version exists; version availability is separate from cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

The ★ Bayonet | Slaughter belongs to the Covert rarity grade. Its chance of appearing from the CS:GO Weapon Case is 0.0039%, a figure specific to that case rather than every acquisition route. Professional owners include olofmeister, Zeus, and steel, though ownership alone does not establish current market demand.

Why it’s Popular:

• Reflective red blade with contrasting crimson and pink-red stripes

• Subdued handle keeps attention on the blade

• Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested choices

• StatTrak option for players who prefer a tracked version

Price Range

The live ★ Bayonet | Slaughter price range is $259.67 to $1,033.87. These bounds cover the skin as a whole, not a particular exterior or StatTrak version. Compare Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested listings separately, since each label represents a different exterior. Then check the exact float value and version rather than comparing only the headline CS2 skin price. Listing images also help buyers judge the stripe arrangement before deciding which copy to buy or trade.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open a Weapon Case

Open a compatible container such as the CS:GO Weapon Case, Operation Bravo Case, or Revolver Case for a chance at this knife. Existing source cases can still be bought and opened even though they no longer drop. The chance from the CS:GO Weapon Case is 0.0039%, so opening that case does not reliably target this particular finish.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

The Steam Community Market offers a direct purchasing route for the ★ Bayonet | Slaughter instead of a random case opening. Compare the listing's exterior and standard or StatTrak version before choosing a copy, and inspect its item details wherever available.

4. Trade with Other Players

The ★ Bayonet | Slaughter can also be acquired through trades with other players. Check the offered knife's exterior, exact float, and StatTrak status against the copy being sought. Trading selects an existing item rather than leaving the result to a case opening.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Retired source cases limit replenishment of case supply, but openings of existing stock can still introduce additional Slaughter knives. Professional ownership provides visibility without establishing current buyer demand or a future price trend. For a buy, sell, or trade decision, compare exterior, exact float, and StatTrak status against current listings rather than treating every copy as equivalent.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired source cases limit future case replenishment

• Documented ownership by professional players

• Distinctive reflective red finish

• Standard and StatTrak versions support different buyer preferences

• Release history dates to August 14, 2013

The editorial investment rating is medium-to-good, supported by retired source cases, documented professional ownership, and an established release history. The main risk is that existing cases can still produce more knives, while current demand and sustained price growth remain uncertain. Its ownership profile supports consideration, not a promise of returns.
