★ StatTrak™ Gut Knife | Slaughter (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The Slaughter finish on the ★ Gut Knife combines a glossy red blade, pale pink stripes and grey metal patches near the spine. In Minimal Wear the red stays saturated and the stripe pattern remains easy to follow. Any marks are small and sit on the tip or the edge, where they are hard to spot in first-person view.

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 Minimal Wear

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.

Light scuffs may appear at the very tip and in spots along the cutting edge. The central part of the blade and the stripe pattern remain fully covered. At normal viewing distance these marks are barely noticeable, and the blade reads as clean red. The hook and the spine usually stay untouched.

What to check before buying

• Look at the stripe layout on the blade, since the shape and placement of light and dark areas differ between copies.
• Check how much grey and silver shows near the spine, as some buyers prefer a cleaner red blade.
• Inspect the tip and the cutting edge, where the red coat wears through first.
• Within a wear grade, a lower float means fewer scratches on the tip and hook.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look and are fine with tiny marks on the tip.
• Buyers looking for a balance between condition and cost.
• Conclusion: practically the Factory New look for everyday use.
