★ Karambit | Slaughter (Field-Tested)

The ★ Karambit | Slaughter commands premium prices due to several factors: First, knife skins are the rarest drop category in CS2, with approximately 0.26% chance from case openings. It can be unboxed from the CS:GO Weapon Case. The Slaughter finish is particularly sought-after for its distinctive appearance, and supply is inherently limited while demand remains high from collectors and players.

Field-Tested covers float values from 0.15 to 0.37 on the CS2 wear scale. This skin's own floats run 0.01-0.26, so its Field-Tested copies sit between 0.15 and 0.26. Within that band a lower float looks cleaner in game and usually sells for more, so two Field-Tested copies of the same skin can be priced well apart. Every listing's float is shown in the marketplace table above.

Right now the Field-Tested is quoted at about $842.96 and the Minimal Wear at about $871.07, so the Minimal Wear costs 3% more. How much of that gap is worth paying depends on the finish: wear shows first on edges and raised areas, so on some designs the cleaner wear is hard to tell apart in game.
