CSDB value is an estimate from recorded sales and cleaned marketplace asks, shown as a range. "Best price" is the lowest listing that survived outlier checks. Where a wear has only a few asks and no recorded sales, CSDB shows the ask and declines to value it. Method

Measuring it needs completed sales with their exact floats, and CSDB does not hold enough of those for this skin to separate a float premium from ordinary price noise.

Case Hardened Pattern Analysis

Case Hardened is pattern-dependent: the paint seed (0–999) changes how much of the play side renders blue rather than gold or purple, and where that blue sits. Seeds with near-total blue coverage are the "blue gems".

That makes two Talon Knifes of the same wear and float different items with different prices. The value CSDB publishes for each wear is the base value — what a typical pattern sells for. A premium for a sought-after seed belongs to that individual item and is shown against the base value in the individual listings, never folded into it.

CSDB does not publish Case Hardened pattern tiers or a fixed premium: we do not yet hold enough completed sales by paint seed to derive one, and a tier list without sales behind it would be opinion presented as data.

About ★ Talon Knife | Case Hardened

This ivory-handled karambit features brass rivets and saw-tooth ridges, so it cuts on the way in, and tears on the way out. It has been color case-hardened through the application of wood charcoal at high temperatures. A little color never hurt anyone— Official in-game description

★ Talon Knife | Case Hardened is a Covert knife finish, on the market since 2018. It drops in StatTrak™ as well as the standard version.

As a Case Hardened finish, no two look quite alike: the paint seed changes how much of the play side renders blue rather than gold or purple, and where that blue sits.
