Talon Knife | Scorched

Origin Story

The Talon Knife | Scorched was released on August 3, 2018, as part of the A New Horizon update. The in-game description notes its "spray-painted in a sun-dappled pattern," a finish that typically shows increased wear on edges and contact points as its float value rises. This knife's flavor text, "The Phoenix is not a symbol of destruction... it's a symbol of rebirth," adds a layer of thematic depth to its rugged aesthetic.

Drop Chance

Talon Knife | Scorched 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 ($710.17): The spray-painted sun-dappled pattern is fully intact with no visible wear.
• Minimal Wear ($395.88): Minor abrasion begins to appear on the edges, consistent with the Spray-Paint finish style.
• Field-Tested ($331.66): Noticeable paint loss and exposed underlying metal become visible on contact surfaces.
• Well-Worn ($312.89): Significant paint chipping and wear are present, degrading the overall appearance of the pattern.
• Battle-Scarred ($485.00): Extensive paint loss across the blade and handle reveals much of the underlying metal, making the sun-dappled pattern heavily worn.

Model

Scorched uses the legacy Talon Knife model, introduced with A New Horizon on August 3, 2018. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
