Together with the HG Aile Strike.
The darker-colored Aile pack does give it a somewhat more menacing look.

The Slaughter Dagger has been released as a variation of the 105 Dagger + Gun Barrel that previously came out as part of the Seed MSV lineup. The base body is identical to the original 105 Dagger, just with the molded color changed to monochrome, and the backpack is the Aile pack from the HG Aile Strike Gundam, swapped out in a gray color scheme.

In the end, there's nothing new structurally — it's essentially a color variant kit cobbled together from two existing kits... but the color scheme is so different that it does make for a pretty distinctive variation in its own right. The two-tone dark gray gives it this brooding, heavy kind of feel...

The weapon loadout is simple and the articulation is nothing special, so pulling off a wide variety of scenes is a bit tough — but the overall look is solid enough that even a casual pose comes out pretty decent. It's not exactly a kit with a whole lot of substance (?), but if you dig the style, it's definitely one you can have a good time with. :-)
