★ Survival Knife | Slaughter (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The recognisable part of ★ Survival Knife | Slaughter is the red striped blade with its gut hook, slot cut-out and serrated spine against a black handle. In Minimal Wear the pattern and colour look almost the same as in the cleanest grade, and only close inspection reveals small marks near the tip and edges. It is the grade for buyers who want the full look of the finish without paying for perfection.

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.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New and Field-Tested.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The whole blade, from the clipped tip to the gut hook and the long slot cut-out, is covered in a red candy coat over diagonal stripes of pale pink-red and darker crimson. The serrated teeth on the spine stand out as bright silver points against the red.

Tiny spots of bare metal can appear at the very tip and along the cutting edge. The stripes and the body of the blade stay fully covered and as vivid as in Factory New. In first-person view the difference is hard to notice in normal play. The gut hook and slot area are usually still clean.

• Inspect the tip, cutting edge and gut hook, as these lose the red coat first.
• Check whether it is a StatTrak™ copy and whether it carries a name tag, if either matters to you.
