Karambit | Slaughter

★ Karambit | Slaughter is a CS2 knife skin with a curved blade and a reflective red finish. Irregular pale pink and silver-white bands contrast with its dark charcoal handle. The look suits players building a red loadout or seeking a bold metallic blade. It comes in Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested, with standard and StatTrak™ versions available.

Description

★ Karambit | Slaughter brings a red metallic finish to the Karambit's curved knife silhouette in CS2. The weapon's claw-like shape originates from the Southeast Asian martial discipline of silat. Its typical reverse grip places the index finger through the ring at the handle's end. Slaughter gives the blade broad zebra-like bands rather than a uniform red surface. The mostly plain charcoal handle provides a dark counterpoint to the bright blade and matching red ring. This combination suits players who prefer strong color contrast without a detailed illustration covering the weapon. Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested copies offer different exterior choices within the finish's available range. Buyers can compare exact float values, listing images and standard or StatTrak versions before choosing a copy.

History and Origin

★ Karambit | Slaughter was released in CS:GO on August 14, 2013, with the Arms Deal update. Valve created the finish, rather than a community designer. Its original acquisition source was the CS:GO Weapon Case. Additional sources include the eSports 2013 Case, Operation Bravo Case and CS:GO Weapon Case 2. It also appears in the eSports 2013 Winter Case, Winter Offensive Weapon Case, CS:GO Weapon Case 3 and Operation Phoenix Weapon Case. The eSports 2014 Summer Case, Operation Vanguard Weapon Case and Revolver Case complete its compatible case sources. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, and all these cases no longer drop. Existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened, keeping case acquisition available despite the end of new drops.

Finish Style

Slaughter uses the Anodized Multicolored finish style, giving the blade a layered metallic appearance. Aluminum and chrome paints create the zebra-like pattern with contrasting levels of reflectivity. A tomato-red coating sits over that metallic pattern and establishes the blade's dominant color. Broad, irregular bands appear pale pink and bright silver-white across the curved surface. Darker red patches near the spine and handle add variation within the red palette. The handle is dark charcoal gray, with a fine surface texture rather than the blade's bold striping. Rounded finger grooves shape the grip, while small ridges follow its outer edge. The finger ring carries a matching red finish, connecting the colorful blade visually with the otherwise restrained handle.

Float Value

The float value range for ★ Karambit | Slaughter is 0.01 to 0.26. Its available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested. Standard and StatTrak versions are available, but there is no Souvenir version, so version availability should be considered separately from exterior condition.

Rarity and Popularity

★ Karambit | Slaughter is a Covert knife skin. Its specific chance of being obtained from the CS:GO Weapon Case is 0.0039%, which should not be treated as the probability for every compatible case. Documented professional owners include karrigan, 910 and FaNg.

Why it’s Popular:

• Tomato-red blade suits coordinated red loadouts

• Reflective zebra bands give the finish a distinct visual identity

• Dark handle keeps attention on the curved blade

• Standard and StatTrak versions offer different ownership options

Price Range

The live ★ Karambit | Slaughter price range is $802.00 to $1,913.44. These bounds cover the whole skin, not a fixed exterior or version. Compare Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested listings using their exact float values and images. Standard and StatTrak copies should also be checked separately rather than assumed to share a price. A useful CS2 skin price comparison considers the listed amount alongside the specific copy's condition and version.

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 case, such as the CS:GO Weapon Case, Operation Bravo Case or Revolver Case, for a chance at this knife. The specific Slaughter chance from the CS:GO Weapon Case is 0.0039%. All compatible cases have stopped dropping, but existing cases can still be purchased and opened.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy ★ Karambit | Slaughter directly through the Steam Community Market rather than relying on a case outcome. Compare the available exterior and standard or StatTrak version before selecting a listing. Check the individual copy's float and appearance wherever those details are available.

4. Trade with Other Players

Obtain the knife through a trade with another player who owns a copy. Confirm that the offered item has the intended exterior, float and standard or StatTrak version. Compare its listing value and appearance before agreeing to exchange other skins for it.

Trading and Investment Considerations

All compatible cases have stopped dropping, leaving future openings dependent on existing case inventories. Professional ownership gives the skin a documented presence among competitive players, but does not establish sales volume or predictable demand. When buying, selling or trading, compare the exterior, exact float and standard or StatTrak version before assessing a listing.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired source cases limit future case replenishment

• Documented ownership by professional players

• Distinctive red coating and reflective zebra bands

• Standard and StatTrak versions broaden the available choices

• Valve-created finish with a release history dating to 2013

The investment rating is medium-to-good, supported by retired source cases, professional ownership and the finish's distinctive appearance. Existing cases can still produce additional knives, so case retirement does not make the skin's supply fixed. Future demand and resale prices remain uncertain, making this substantial purchase unsuitable for assuming predictable returns.
