Pattern value — Classic Knife | Slaughter
Paint seed matters on this skinShapes formed by the red blotches on the playside. Seeds that read as a recognisable figure — a heart, a web-like cluster, a face — are collected; the trait is pareidolic rather than measurable, so pricing is thinner and more subjective than on Case Hardened.
Typical premium: Named shapes add roughly 2-5x; the effect is smaller and less liquid than blue gems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Factory New (FN) ★ Classic Knife | Slaughter skins have float values between 0.00-0.07, showing minimal to no visible wear. Minimal Wear (MW) floats range from 0.07-0.15, with slight scratches or fading. This skin has a restricted float range (0.01-0.26), meaning Battle-Scarred versions don't exist. The price gap between FN and MW varies by finish — some designs like the Slaughter pattern hide wear better than others, making MW versions a strong value alternative.
The ★ Classic Knife | Slaughter sits in the mid-to-high price bracket. It features a distinctive Slaughter design that stands out in-game and maintains good trading liquidity. It's part of The CS20 Collection, obtainable from the CS20 Case, which adds to its collectible appeal.

Minimal Wear covers float values from 0.07 to 0.15 on the CS2 wear scale. Within that band a lower float looks cleaner in game and usually sells for more, so two Minimal Wear copies of the same skin can be priced well apart. Every listing's float is shown in the marketplace table above.
Right now the Minimal Wear is quoted at about $209.39 and the Factory New at about $206.31, so the Minimal Wear costs 1% more.

Switch wears above to compare the two side by side.
