Коготь | Убийство

Origin Story

The Talon Knife | Slaughter, released on August 3, 2018, with the A New Horizon update, is a classic, high-end knife known for its distinctive red candy coat over a zebra-stripe metallic base. This finish is applied to a curved talon blade, which draws the eye to the bright red pattern in motion. As a premium knife model and finish, it is considered a status symbol among collectors and investors. The Slaughter finish is often discussed alongside other pattern-based red metallic finishes like Doppler and Marble Fade, reinforcing its reputation as a high-tier item.

Drop Chance

Talon 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 ($1,050.00): The blade displays a full, glossy red candy coat with the zebra-stripe metallic pattern beneath remaining crisp and bright. This is the premium tier for collectors seeking the cleanest Slaughter look.
• Minimal Wear ($762.63): The red candy coat and pattern are still strong, with only very light edge wear or micro-scratches detectable on close inspection at the tip or outer curve. This is often considered a value pick, offering a nearly pristine look at a lower price.
• Field-Tested ($750.00): Noticeable wear appears along the blade edges and tip, exposing more of the underlying grey metal, and the overall red candy coat is less uniformly glossy. This tier serves as the most accessible entry point for owning a Talon Slaughter.

Model

Slaughter uses the legacy Talon Knife model, introduced with A New Horizon on August 3, 2018. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

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, reflective red candy coat over a zebra-stripe metallic base of aluminum and chrome, creating alternating lighter and darker bands beneath the red. In first-person view, the curved talon blade with its sharp, claw-like tip is the most visible element, drawing the eye to the bright red pattern in motion. Slaughter knives are commonly grouped visually with other pattern-based red metallic finishes, and compared against Doppler, Marble Fade, and Crimson Web as classic premium knife looks.
