Talon Knife | Boreal Forest

Origin Story

The Talon Knife | Boreal Forest was released on August 3, 2018, as part of the A New Horizon update, featuring a forest camouflage hydrographic paint job. Its design applies a mottled pattern of dark olive green, brown, and black tones across the blade, giving it a rugged, military-inspired appearance. This finish is a budget-friendly entry point for players looking to acquire a Talon Knife, offering a distinct camouflage aesthetic for those who prefer understated, tactical designs. The Boreal Forest finish on the Talon Knife is a low-profile option within the broader knife market.

Drop Chance

Talon Knife | Boreal Forest is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.

Skin Condition

Float range 0.06 to 0.8. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($959.06): The forest camouflage pattern appears sharp and high-contrast across the blade, with greens, browns, and dark tones at full saturation and minimal edge wear.
• Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): The camo remains vibrant and mostly intact, though small scuffs begin to appear along the blade's tips, edges, and spine.
• Field-Tested ($281.90): Noticeable edge wear is visible on the blade, including the hook and tip, with some base metal beginning to show through on high-contact points, and colors appearing slightly muted.
• Well-Worn ($300.00): The camouflage pattern shows substantial fading and scratching, with larger sections of the blade's edges and tip losing paint and revealing darker, exposed metal.
• Battle-Scarred ($310.42): Extensive wear covers the blade and edges, with large areas of the hydrographic layer missing or highly faded, especially on leading edges and the tip, resulting in a dull and patchy camo over exposed dark metal.

Sticker Compatibility

As a knife skin, the Talon Knife | Boreal Forest does not have sticker slots itself; sticker compatibility refers to coordinating weapon skins. Its muted green, brown, and black camouflage pattern pairs well with military-themed, green, or dark stickers on other weapons for a cohesive loadout. Orange or yellow accents can also provide a contrasting highlight against the knife's earthy tones.
