It's part of The Horizon Collection, obtainable from the Horizon Case, which adds to its collectible appeal. For players who main the Talon Knife, this skin offers an excellent balance of visual appeal and investment stability compared to budget alternatives.
Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). With a float range of 0.06 to 0.80, this skin has specific wear availability that affects pricing. Lower float values within any condition category (e.g., 0.01 vs 0.06 in Factory New) result in cleaner appearances and typically command higher prices. For high-value trades, always verify the exact float value using inspection tools.
Prices for the ★ Talon Knife vary across marketplaces due to fees, regional pricing, and seller competition. This skin can be obtained by opening the Horizon Case or purchased directly from third-party marketplaces. The Steam Community Market charges 15% fees, while third-party markets like Skinport, DMarket, and Buff163 offer lower prices with 2-10% fees. Compare real-time prices in the market comparison table above to find the best deal.
Investment potential depends on several factors. Knives and gloves historically hold value well due to consistent demand and limited supply. The ★ Talon Knife is from The Horizon Collection (Horizon Case) — skins from discontinued collections tend to appreciate as supply decreases over time. Key considerations: (1) Check the 30-day and 90-day price trends in the charts above; (2) Evaluate overall CS2 market conditions. Past performance doesn't guarantee future returns, but the ★ Talon Knife has maintained steady trading interest. Diversifying across multiple items typically reduces risk.

StatTrak versions of the ★ Talon Knife are rarer than standard versions (approximately 10% of case drops are StatTrak) and typically cost 1.5x to 3x more. The kill counter adds personalization value as it records your gameplay history with this specific weapon. Note that StatTrak counts reset if you trade the skin.
