Talon Knife | Tiger Tooth

The Talon Knife | Tiger Tooth is a highly recognizable knife skin from the CS:GO era, carried into Counter-Strike 2 as a CS:GO (legacy) model. Known for its bold, high-contrast pattern, it has remained a fan favorite since its introduction, thanks to the iconic Tiger Tooth finish that visually stands out against most other knife finishes.

As a Covert rarity skin, the Talon Knife | Tiger Tooth is considered one of the more desirable drops. While exact drop odds can vary by case odds and game mechanics, Covert items are generally uncommon compared to lower rarities, making this knife a frequent target for collectors and traders. The skin’s float range is 0 to 0.08, which means it can appear extremely clean in top condition.

This skin is available in two main wear states: Factory New and Minimal Wear. StatTrak is available (Yes), allowing the knife to track weapon kills, which adds extra appeal for players who want both style and functionality. Souvenir is not available (No), and there are no listed collection placements for this specific skin, keeping it primarily associated with case openings rather than collection-based progression.

Visually, the Tiger Tooth finish features a striking tiger-stripe effect across the blade and/or handle area, designed to look sharp, dynamic, and premium even in motion. With paint index 409, the patterning belongs to a set of layouts that players often compare for contrast and clarity—especially when aiming for the cleanest presentation in Factory New condition.

If you’re looking to obtain the Talon Knife | Tiger Tooth, it is found in the Prisma 2 Case and the Prisma Case. Because it’s a knife from a named case pool, many players pursue it through case-opening strategies rather than direct trade-only acquisition, though availability will depend on the broader market and supply.

In the community, the Talon Knife | Tiger Tooth is widely regarded as a “statement” skin—particularly for those who prefer classic, aggressive knife aesthetics. Its enduring popularity comes from the combination of Covert rarity, clean visual identity, and the consistent demand among both collectors and players building long-term CS2 inventories.
