★ Gut Knife | Slaughter (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

★ Gut Knife | Slaughter in Field-Tested is the most affordable way to own this red striped blade with a hooked spine. Even the most worn copies stay close to clean, so the overall red-and-silver look holds up. Wear shows as thin silver scratches through the red coat, mostly toward the point and along the cutting edge.

Item type: knife. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The blade is coated in translucent tomato red over a striped base, giving swirls of deep crimson and pale salmon that run along its length. Near the spine and the base of the blade the stripes break into grey and silver patches, and the serrated spine and the gut hook carry the same red layer.

Silver scratches become visible at the tip and along the edge, and small chips may show on the hook. The red coat in the middle of the blade is still mostly whole, and the stripes keep their shape. In first-person view the wear shows mainly when the knife catches light during inspect animations. Because the range ends low, the finish never reaches heavy damage.
