About ★ Butterfly Knife | Slaughter
The ★ Butterfly Knife | Slaughter in Field-Tested is the practical-purchase tier of one of the most pattern-lottery-driven Butterfly configurations in CS2. From the Bravo Collection (September 2013), Slaughter's blood-red marbling pattern reads through FT wear because the saturated red dominates the visual palette regardless of edge condition.
Pattern hunting at FT
Slaughter's value is primarily determined by pattern seed, not wear. "Full Red" patterns at FT can outprice "Sparse Red" patterns at MW or even FN. The pattern lottery applies equally at every wear — savvy buyers target high-coverage seeds at FT for the best pattern-to-cost ratio.
Why FT is the savvy buy
The red marbling stays saturated at FT. Knuckle and pivot wear becomes visible, but the central blade artwork remains the focal point. For pattern hunters who care about coverage more than wear-tier, FT is the consensus value condition. Bravo Collection has been retired since 2013; supply is fixed.
