★ Talon Knife | Safari Mesh (Field-Tested)

★ Talon Knife | Safari Mesh in Field-Tested (FT): an olive-gray knife with a barely noticeable mesh over the whole flat. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. In CS2 the talon knife drops from the Horizon and Danger Zone Cases. The float starts at 0.06 and ends at 0.80, there are five wears, and Field-Tested accounts for 31% of that scale.

What the ★ Talon Knife | Safari Mesh looks like in Field-Tested

The blade and the handle are painted one color, a khaki with a gray-green cast. Over it lies a faded pattern of small cells, like the print of a mesh fence. The blade has three round holes, the spine has teeth, and the end of the handle has a ring. Valve writes that the finish was applied through a mesh and cardboard cutouts.

Scratches on the talon knife settle mainly on the point and the teeth, and in Field-Tested they are already there. Wear is fixed at drop, and the knife stays in the condition it fell in.

What to check before buying

Choosing a ★ Talon Knife | Safari Mesh, pay attention to the following:

• float: the band from 0.15 to 0.38 leaves a choice, and copies closer to 0.15 are cleaner;


• applied name: the talon knife takes a name tag and no stickers;


• pattern: it is applied identically across the whole run, so listings differ in wear.

What the ★ Talon Knife | Safari Mesh costs in Field-Tested

Minimal Wear (MW), Well-Worn (WW) and Battle-Scarred (BS) cost only 5 to 9% more, so the choice between wears has to be made by float, not by price.

Among Covert talon knives, this is the cheapest finish in this wear. The nearest are Boreal Forest, Forest DDPAT and Scorched, a little over 10% higher, while Urban Masked and Night Stripe are higher by a quarter. Blue Steel, Case Hardened and Slaughter sit above them all.
