Nomad Knife | Slaughter

★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter is a CS2 knife skin with a tomato-red blade and angular zebra-style stripes. Its broad blade contrasts with a black textured grip and silver-gray handle frame. The finish suits red-focused loadouts and players who prefer detailed blades with restrained handles. Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested copies are available, including StatTrak™ versions.

Description

★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter combines a patterned red finish with the Nomad Knife's tactical hunting profile. The knife's ergonomic locking design pairs composite inserts in the handle with a wide, robust blade. Slaughter concentrates its strongest visual detail on the blade, leaving the grip comparatively plain. The bright cutting edge and silver-gray frame provide contrast against the red and black palette. This look suits players seeking bold blade decoration without equally busy detailing across the whole knife. Standard and StatTrak copies offer a choice between the regular version and a kill-counter option. The available exteriors help buyers narrow their selection, while individual float values allow more precise comparisons within each condition. Before buying, players can check the listing's version, exterior and image rather than treating every Slaughter copy as interchangeable.

History and Origin

★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter entered CS:GO on November 18, 2019, with the Shattered Web Case. Its release was part of the Operation Shattered Web update. Valve created the skin rather than a community designer. The Fracture Case also contains this finish for the Nomad Knife, providing another case-opening route. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. As of October 9, 2026, neither the Shattered Web Case nor the Fracture Case produces new drops. Existing cases can still be purchased on the market and opened, so retirement does not remove access to their contents. Direct market purchases and player trades also remain ways to obtain the knife without opening either case.

Finish Style

Slaughter uses the Anodized Multicolored finish style, with patterned metallic paint beneath a red topcoat. Aluminum and chrome paints create zebra-like stripes with differing reflectivity. The candy-style coating gives the blade its distinctive tomato-red color. Lighter pink-red areas sit alongside darker angular stripes rather than forming a uniform red surface. Broad, irregular bands and sharp zigzags spread across the blade, creating its busy visual character. A narrow silver edge traces the curved cutting side and separates it from the patterned face. The handle combines a silver-gray frame, visible circular fasteners and a black textured grip panel. Red accents around the blade base, handle underside and handle end connect the quieter handle to the blade's dominant color.

Float Value

The float value range for ★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter is 0.01 to 0.26. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested, with no Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred copies. Standard and StatTrak versions exist, but there is no Souvenir version; version availability is separate from cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter has Covert rarity. Its specific opening chance from the Shattered Web Case is 0.0049%, which should not be treated as a verified Fracture Case probability. Professional owners include Ex3rcice, xseveN and Dima.

Why it’s Popular:

• Tomato-red blade suits red-focused loadouts

• Angular stripes give the broad blade distinctive detail

• Black grip balances the busy blade finish

• StatTrak option appeals to players who prefer kill counters

Price Range

The live CS2 skin price range for ★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter is $192.84 to $716.82. Prices vary across Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested listings, with standard and StatTrak versions requiring separate comparisons. Float value helps distinguish copies within an exterior, while listing images show the individual blade pattern. When planning to buy, sell or trade, compare matching versions and conditions rather than assuming the overall range describes any particular variant.

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 Shattered Web Case or Fracture Case for a chance to obtain this knife. Neither case still drops, but existing cases can be bought and opened without guaranteeing this specific result.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

The Steam Community Market provides a direct purchase route for ★ Nomad Knife | Slaughter. Compare the exterior, float value and standard or StatTrak version before choosing a listing.

4. Trade with Other Players

Players can obtain this knife by exchanging items with other players. Check the offered copy's exterior, float value and version before agreeing on the items included in the trade.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Both source cases no longer drop, so continued openings reduce the stock of unopened cases while potentially adding more knives. Professional ownership supports its appeal as a play skin, but does not establish resale demand or trading speed. Compare standard and StatTrak listings separately, then check exterior and float before setting a buy or sell price.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired source cases limit replenishment of unopened supply

• Covert rarity with a documented low opening chance

• Distinctive red striping across a broad blade

• Documented ownership by professional players

The editorial investment outlook is medium-to-good, supported by retired source cases, Covert rarity and documented professional ownership. The main risk is uncertain future resale demand, while existing cases can still produce additional copies; these factors prevent any promise of returns.
