Talon Knife | Night Stripe

Origin Story

The Talon Knife | Night Stripe was released on August 3, 2018, as part of the A New Horizon update, introducing a tactical knife finish. It features a night ops color scheme achieved through a spray-painted tape mask pattern, giving the blade a dark and stealthy appearance. The in-game description highlights this design, noting its spray-painted application. This finish style typically shows wear on exposed edges and high-contact points, where the pattern may appear scuffed or thinned.

Drop Chance

Talon Knife | Night Stripe 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 (No Recent Price): The night ops color scheme and tape-mask pattern exhibit full integrity, appearing clean and uniform.
