★ Talon Knife | Forest DDPAT (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

In Field-Tested the Talon Knife | Forest DDPAT starts to look like a tool that has been used outdoors: the camouflage is still clearly readable, but steel shows through along the edge, the tip and the serrated spine. The muted greens and browns hide scuffs well, so the knife keeps a coherent military look in first-person view.

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 Field-Tested

The curved blade of the Talon Knife is covered in a digital woodland camouflage of square pixel blocks in green, olive, tan, light beige and dark brown, with a thin strip of polished steel along the cutting edge. The spine carries saw-tooth ridges and three round holes that cut through the pattern.

Bare steel is visible along the cutting edge and the tip, and scuffs start on the saw-tooth ridges and around the three holes. The middle of the blade keeps most of its pixel pattern. The handle shows only light rubbing at its edges. In first-person view the wear blends into the camouflage and does not dominate the look.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the tip and the cutting edge in inspect, since that is where the camouflage loses paint first.
• Look at the saw-tooth spine and the area around the three holes to judge how far the wear has spread in mid grades.
• Compare the float with the borders of its wear grade, because a low float inside a grade often looks a step cleaner.
• Decide whether you want StatTrak™, since the counter is shown on the knife and changes the version you are buying.
