Skeleton Knife | Slaughter

★ Skeleton Knife | Slaughter is a CS2 knife skin with a bright red, reflective blade and darker diagonal stripes. Its open frame and black-wrapped handle give the colorful finish a contrasting outline. The look suits players building red-and-black loadouts or seeking a patterned knife rather than a plain blade. Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested copies are available, including StatTrak™ versions.

Description

★ Skeleton Knife | Slaughter brings the Slaughter finish to a skeletonized knife in CS2. The weapon has an open frame, a large finger opening and a taped handle designed for grip and stability. Across the blade, bright red coloring meets pale pink highlights and darker zebra-like stripes. Its Anodized Multicolored finish gives the metallic pattern a reflective appearance rather than a flat painted look. Black wrapping breaks up the red frame around the handle, keeping the blade as the main visual focus. This combination suits players who prefer a vivid knife with darker supporting details in their loadout. Buyers can choose between standard and StatTrak copies without switching to a different finish. Comparing the exterior, exact float value and listing images helps distinguish individual copies before a purchase or trade.

History and Origin

The Skeleton Knife | Slaughter was released in CS:GO on November 18, 2019, during the Operation Shattered Web update. Its original case was the Shattered Web Case, connecting its debut to that operation's release. Valve created the skin rather than a community designer. Today, it can be obtained from either the Shattered Web Case or the Fracture Case. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. As of October 9, 2026, neither of these source cases receives new drops. Existing cases remain available to buy on the market and open, so retirement has not removed the case-opening route. Buying an existing knife or trading with another player provides a separate route that does not depend on a case outcome.

Finish Style

Slaughter uses an Anodized Multicolored finish with a zebra-like layout across the blade. Aluminum and chrome paints produce differing reflective tones beneath a tomato-red topcoat. The visible blade combines bright red areas with pale pink highlights. Darker red stripes run diagonally across its surface rather than following the blade's length. Broad, angular patches overlap those stripes, creating a busy design with several intersecting shapes. Four small circular holes sit near the blade's base, above the large round opening in the red frame. Black wrapping covers most of the handle in diagonal bands, with narrow red strips visible between some sections. The exposed handle tip continues the darker red pattern and includes a small circular hole.

Float Value

The Skeleton Knife | Slaughter has a float value range of 0.01 to 0.26, defining its available cosmetic conditions. It comes in Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested, but never Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred. Standard and StatTrak versions are available, while no Souvenir version exists; these version choices are separate from exterior condition.

Rarity and Popularity

The Skeleton Knife | Slaughter has the Covert rarity grade. Its specific drop chance from the Shattered Web Case is 0.0049%, making that route uncertain for anyone seeking this exact knife. Documented professional owners include NiKo, rallen and DANK1NG.

Why it’s Popular:

• Bright red blade with reflective pink highlights

• Diagonal stripes and overlapping angular patches

• Black handle wrapping complements red-and-black loadouts

• StatTrak availability alongside standard versions

Price Range

The live Skeleton Knife | Slaughter price range is $314.77 to $1,483.85. These bounds cover the whole skin, not a fixed exterior or version. Compare Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested offers separately, then distinguish standard copies from StatTrak listings. Exact float values and listing images provide more useful detail than the exterior label alone when choosing a copy. Eneba Skins lets buyers compare CS2 skin listings before deciding which available knife suits their preferences and budget.

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 receives new drops, but existing cases can still be bought and opened. The specific chance from the Shattered Web Case is 0.0049%, so opening it does not secure this finish.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

The Skeleton Knife | Slaughter can be bought directly through the Steam Community Market instead of pursuing a case result. Check the listing's exterior and whether it is a standard or StatTrak version before selecting an offer.

4. Trade with Other Players

The knife can also be acquired through a player-to-player trade using items another player agrees to accept. Check the exact float, exterior, version and visible finish of the offered copy before completing the exchange.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Both source cases have stopped dropping, limiting fresh case supply, but opening existing cases can still add knives to circulation. Professional ownership provides visibility, although current trading volume and sustained price momentum remain uncertain. For a buy, sell or trade decision, compare equivalent exteriors, float values and standard versus StatTrak versions.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired source cases limit fresh case supply

• Documented ownership by NiKo, rallen and DANK1NG

• Distinctive red finish with reflective metallic detail

• Standard and StatTrak options offer different collecting choices

The investment rating is medium-to-good, supported by retired source cases, documented professional ownership and a distinctive Valve-created finish. This is an editorial judgment, not a forecast of returns or proof of sustained price growth. The main risk is uncertain buyer demand, while continued openings of existing cases can expand the knife's supply.
