★ Talon Knife | Safari Mesh (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

★ Talon Knife | Safari Mesh is recognisable by its olive mesh, dark mottling along the spine and the three holes cut through the blade. In Field-Tested the paint starts to lift on the edge, the serrated teeth and the finger ring, adding light steel scuffs that suit the rough field look. The pattern remains readable as camouflage at normal viewing distance.

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

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The whole knife is painted in an olive, khaki and grey-green palette with a fine net pattern sprayed over it and soft darker blotches on top. The curved blade carries darker mottling along the spine, a row of serrated teeth near the base and three round holes, while the cutting edge shows a lighter steel band.

Scuffs show along the cutting edge, on the spine teeth and around the outer rim of the finger ring. The edges of the three holes may start losing paint as well. In game the camouflage still reads as a whole, with light steel accents on the edges. The grip and most of the blade flat keep their pattern.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the grade, since cleaner values keep more paint on the edge and teeth.
• Look at the cutting edge, tip and finger ring first, as these lose paint before the rest of the knife.
• Compare the blade flat on inspect screenshots, because worn copies differ in how much of the mesh survives there.
• Decide whether you need the StatTrak™ version, which exists for this knife.
