About the Talon Knife | Case Hardened
Talon Knife | Case Hardened is a Rare Special Item knife that drops from 2 of the 42 CS2 weapon cases: Horizon Case and Danger Zone Case.
The earliest of them is the Horizon Case, released on 2 August 2018.
Each open has a 0.0050% chance (about 1 in 20,000) of pulling it, as one of 52 Rare Special Item finishes in every one of those cases. One in ten of those drops is StatTrak.
It sits in tier 5 of 5 (Mil-Spec to Rare Special) and ranks #2 of 69 finishes in the Horizon Case by top-wear Steam price.
Its Steam price runs from $422.84 to $1,380.00 across wears, against $4.10 to open the Danger Zone Case (case plus $2.50 key), so every wear is worth more than one open.
