What the ★ Talon Knife | Case Hardened looks like in Well-Worn

The handle is pale as ivory, with brass rivets. The blade, with its saw teeth along the spine and three round holes, carries colored patches at the sharp end: blue, purple, orange-gold. The rest of the steel is light, and the ring is colored again. Valve calls the finish color hardening in charcoal, and the patches on the blade are its trace.

Here the float is bounded by 0.38 and 0.45. The band is narrow, and copies are almost impossible to tell apart. Wear is set at the drop and never moves.

What to check before buying

When comparing ★ Talon Knife | Case Hardened listings, look at:

• the float: the band is tight, yet the number is still worth checking, since below 0.38 Field-Tested begins;


• the name tag: a name can be applied to the knife;


• the version: a listing with StatTrak counts as a different item.
