Flip Knife | Slaughter

Origin Story

The Flip Knife | Slaughter, released on August 14, 2013, as part of The Arms Deal update, is a classic red knife skin. This original Arms Deal knife finish is considered a status item and a desirable red-themed piece for loadouts. Its visual identity is defined by the reflective red blade panels and the metallic zebra pattern that shows through at certain angles. The Flip Knife | Slaughter is often grouped with other red knives like the Doppler Ruby for its striped, candy-red metal aesthetic.

Drop Chance

Flip Knife | Slaughter is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.

Skin Condition

Float range 0.01 to 0.26. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT.

• Factory New ($443.35): The blade appears very glossy and vibrant with a saturated tomato red and a clearly defined metallic zebra stripe beneath, showing minimal edge wear.
• Minimal Wear ($435.54): The red and zebra pattern remain bright, though slight matting of the clear gloss and tiny edge wear can appear on the tip or spine upon close inspection.
• Field-Tested ($388.55): The red remains clear and the zebra pattern recognizable, but the overall sheen is reduced with more visible edge wear and slight darkening along the blade edge and tip.

Visual Theme

Anodized: It has been painted in a zebra-stripe pattern with aluminum and chrome paints with various reflectivities, and has then been covered with a tomato red candy coat. This results in a bright tomato red candy coat over a metallic silver and chrome zebra-stripe base. In a first-person view, the most visible elements are the red, reflective blade panels and the metallic zebra pattern that shows through at certain angles. Slaughter knives are often discussed alongside other red knives like Crimson Web or Doppler Ruby, with some players preferring Slaughter’s striped, candy-red metal look.

Sticker Compatibility

The Flip Knife | Slaughter does not have sticker slots, so sticker compatibility discussions for this item typically focus on matching gloves and gun skins. Red, crimson, or maroon stickers complement the candy-red blade, while white, silver, or chrome-like stickers echo the metallic zebra stripes. Black or dark grey stickers can provide contrast, helping the red blade stand out visually.
