Butterfly Knife | Slaughter

Origin Story

The Butterfly Knife Slaughter features a striking zebra-stripe pattern, applied with aluminum and chrome paints, then finished with a vibrant tomato red candy coat. This distinctive design was introduced on July 1, 2014, as part of the Operation Breakout update. Its bold color and metallic sheen make it a visually recognizable and sought-after knife skin. The flavor text, "Valeria doesn't pay Javier to ask questions... she pays him to pry out answers," hints at a darker narrative behind its creation.
