★ Talon Knife | Boreal Forest (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Talon Knife | Boreal Forest is a karambit-style blade with a hydrographic forest camouflage of olive, moss green and dark brown patches on the blade. In Factory New the camo stays solid up to the tip and along the saw-tooth spine, and the khaki handle with green dots looks freshly painted. This is the cleanest version of a quiet, military-looking knife.

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

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

Appearance in Factory New

The curved blade is covered in a forest camouflage of olive, light green, bright moss green and dark brown patches. The pattern runs up to the tip, over the saw-tooth spine and around the row of round holes near the base. The handle is a muted khaki-grey with dark green round dots in place of rivets, and the finger ring at the end is in a darker green-grey. Because the finish is a hydrographic print over metal, wear shows as paint loss that reveals bare steel. It appears first on the cutting edge, the tip, the spine teeth and the edges of the handle and ring.

The camo is intact across the whole blade, including the tip and the spine teeth. The handle and ring show even paint with sharp dots. Factory New copies sit in a narrow slice at the bottom of this skin's float range, so differences between them are hard to spot. In game the knife looks crisp and uniform.
