Bowie Knife | Slaughter

★ Bowie Knife | Slaughter is a CS2 knife skin with a broad red blade and reflective, zebra-like striping. Its nearly black handle provides a clear contrast to the busy finish across the blade and sawback spine. The look suits players who prefer bold red accents over a restrained knife finish. It comes in Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested, with standard and StatTrak™ versions available.

Description

★ Bowie Knife | Slaughter applies an Anodized Multicolored finish to the full-tang Bowie Knife model in CS2. The broad blade gives the irregular red striping plenty of space, making the finish central to the knife's appearance. Its sawback spine adds a rugged outline that remains visible beneath the patterned surface. Reflective highlights along the cutting edge and tip contrast with darker crimson areas across the blade. The red guard and rounded pommel extend the color beyond the blade without overwhelming the nearly black handle. This combination suits red-and-black loadouts and players who want a visibly patterned knife rather than a plain surface. Buyers can choose between standard and StatTrak versions without changing the underlying Slaughter design. When comparing copies, the useful details are the exterior, exact float, version and appearance shown in the listing.

History and Origin

★ Bowie Knife | Slaughter was released in CS:GO on February 17, 2016. It arrived with the Operation Wildfire update and the Operation Wildfire Case. Valve created the skin rather than a community designer. Its case origin remains relevant because opening that case is still a route to obtaining the finish. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. The Operation Wildfire Case no longer drops, so new case drops cannot replenish its stock. Existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened, separating retired drop status from continued opening availability. Buyers looking for an existing knife can instead use the Steam Community Market or arrange a player-to-player trade.

Finish Style

Slaughter uses the Anodized Multicolored finish style to combine a striped metallic treatment with a red topcoat. Aluminum and chrome paints provide differing reflectivity beneath the translucent, tomato-red color. Across the broad blade, irregular zebra-like bands appear in lighter pink-red and darker crimson. Bright highlights follow the curved cutting edge and pointed tip, emphasizing the blade's outline. The serrated spine carries the striped finish too, keeping the pattern visible along the sawback profile. Both the guard and rounded pommel are red, with bright reflections that connect them visually to the blade. The handle is nearly black, with a fine textured surface and two visible dark fasteners. Its mostly plain appearance contrasts with the busy blade, giving the design a clear division between grip and cutting surface.

Float Value

The float value of ★ Bowie Knife | Slaughter ranges from 0.01 to 0.26. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested. Standard and StatTrak™ versions are available, while there is no Souvenir version, so version choice is separate from exterior condition.

Rarity and Popularity

★ Bowie Knife | Slaughter has the Covert rarity grade. Its specific chance of appearing from the Operation Wildfire Case is 0.02%, making a case opening an uncertain acquisition route. The case no longer drops, but existing cases can still be opened and existing knives can be bought or traded.

Why it’s Popular:

• Bold red blade against a nearly black handle

• Reflective striping across the broad blade and sawback spine

• Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested options

• Standard and StatTrak versions to choose from

Price Range

The live CS2 skin price range for ★ Bowie Knife | Slaughter is $148.47 to $693.93. These bounds cover the whole skin, not a guaranteed price for a particular exterior or version. Compare Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested listings separately, then check the exact float of each candidate. Standard and StatTrak versions are both available, so version should remain part of the price comparison. Before deciding where to buy, inspect the listed knife's condition and blade appearance rather than relying on its asking price alone.

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 the Operation Wildfire Case

Opening the Operation Wildfire Case offers a chance to obtain this knife rather than a guaranteed result. Its specific drop chance is 0.02%. The case no longer drops, but existing cases bought on the market can still be opened.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

The Steam Community Market provides a direct route to buy an existing ★ Bowie Knife | Slaughter. Check the exterior and StatTrak status before selecting a listing, rather than treating every available copy as interchangeable.

4. Trade with Other Players

Player-to-player trading is another route to an existing copy. Compare the knife's exterior, float and StatTrak status with the items offered in return. Verify the actual item and its finish before accepting the trade.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Retired case drops restrict new case supply, but unopened stock can still produce additional Slaughter knives. Future demand and resale speed remain uncertain, making a short-term flip difficult to judge. When buying, selling or trading, compare exterior, exact float and StatTrak status rather than assuming all copies have equivalent market appeal.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired case drops limit new case supply

• Covert rarity and low case-opening odds

• Standard and StatTrak ownership options

• Distinctive red finish with reflective striping

The editorial investment rating is medium. Retired case drops and the low opening chance support that assessment, but future price trends remain uncertain. Existing cases can still produce more copies, and uncertain buyer demand remains the main risk when planning a resale.
