★ StatTrak™ Talon Knife | Tiger Tooth (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Talon Knife | Tiger Tooth pairs a curved blade anodized in warm orange with dark hand-etched tiger stripes and an ivory handle set with brass rivets. In Factory New the orange coat is even from the spine to the polished cutting edge, and the stripes keep sharp borders. This is the grade for buyers who want the finish exactly as it looks in the preview.

Item type: knife. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear.

Appearance in Factory New

The whole curved blade is anodized in a saturated orange that turns golden in the light, with dark amber tiger stripes etched across it from the spine toward the edge. The spine carries saw-tooth ridges and three round holes, while the cutting edge is left as a thin strip of polished steel.

In Factory New the anodized orange covers the blade evenly, including the tip and the saw-tooth ridges on the spine. The tiger stripes have crisp edges and the polished cutting edge stays a clean line. The ivory handle, brass rivets and the orange finger ring show no marks. In game the blade reads as a solid bright orange with clear dark stripes.

What to look at before you buy

• Inspect the blade tip and the cutting edge in the inspect view, as these are the first places where the orange coat thins.
• Look at the saw-tooth ridges on the spine for light points on their peaks.
• Compare the float with the boundary between Factory New and Minimal Wear, since copies near it look almost identical.
• Check whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag you want to keep.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the anodized blade without a single mark.
• Players who inspect their knife often and notice details at the tip and edge.
• Choose this grade if a clean coat matters more to you than the cost.
