★ Talon Knife | Ultraviolet (Field-Tested)

The ★ Talon Knife | Ultraviolet in Field-Tested (FT) is a black, curved talon with a purple handle in CS2. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. It has a single source: the Prisma Case and the Prisma 2 Case. The finish starts at float 0.06, so the top wear, Factory New, gets only the band from 0.06 to 0.07, while five wears fit on a scale that reaches 0.80.

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

The blade bends like a crescent moon and is painted black. Three round holes are punched through the base, and a row of teeth runs along the spine. The handle is flooded with purple and studded with black rivets, and the ring at the end is black as well. Valve's description says the paint goes onto the parts as a solid fill in black and purple.

The float range of this wear lies between 0.15 and 0.38. Wear is visible here, and it takes the tip and the cutting edge of the curve first. It is built in at the drop, and the copy does not change afterward. The artwork on the ★ Talon Knife | Ultraviolet repeats from listing to listing without variation.

Where the ★ Talon Knife | Ultraviolet came from

The finish is found in the Prisma Case and the Prisma 2 Case. In Valve's note of March 31, 2020, the Prisma 2 Case is described as a case with a chance at a knife in Chroma finishes.

What to check before buying

A few points are worth settling before you buy the ★ Talon Knife | Ultraviolet:

• the applied name: an inscription left by a previous owner stays on the talon;


• the version: StatTrak is a separate item with a price of its own;


• the tip and the edge in the listing image, because wear in this grade settles there first.

The 0.15 to 0.38 stretch is long for the ★ Talon Knife | Ultraviolet, and copies at the extremes differ noticeably.

What the ★ Talon Knife | Ultraviolet costs in Field-Tested

Factory New costs exactly four times as much, Minimal Wear 1.4 times as much, and Well-Worn 12 percent more. Battle-Scarred is a twelfth cheaper than Field-Tested.

Getting the ★ Talon Knife | Ultraviolet

The talon drops from the Prisma Case and the Prisma 2 Case, with a wear that is decided at the opening. A rare special item can also come from a contract: five Covert skins from one collection go in, and a random knife comes out. Buy the talon in the wear you need as a finished listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

A StatTrak version of the Talon Knife | Ultraviolet exists in the game.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ Talon Knife | Ultraviolet in Field-Tested is worthwhile under these conditions:

• you want a talon with a black blade and a purple handle, and Factory New costs four times as much;


• your CS2 loadout is built on black and purple, and the handle of the talon sets the accent;


• it matters to you that Battle-Scarred is only a twelfth cheaper, and its wear is heavier.
