★ StatTrak™ Talon Knife | Tiger Tooth (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The Tiger Tooth finish on the ★ Talon Knife is read from a distance by its orange, almost golden blade with brown stripes running across it, set against a pale handle. Minimal Wear on this skin sits in a very narrow band right after Factory New, so the blade keeps its colour and the stripe pattern stays intact. Any difference shows only as faint marks near the tip and on the edge, which are hard to spot in normal play.

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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

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.

Minimal Wear can bring a few fine scratches near the blade tip and along the cutting edge, where the anodized layer is thinnest. The saw-tooth ridges on the spine may show tiny light points on their peaks. The stripes, the main area of the blade, the handle and the finger ring remain clean. At normal distance in game the knife looks practically the same as a Factory New copy.

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 should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want the Tiger Tooth look in game and do not need a flawless tip.
• Buyers looking for a cheaper way into this finish with almost no visible difference.
• A sensible choice when the knife is meant for everyday play rather than close inspection.
