★ Talon Knife | Scorched (Minimal Wear)

The ★ Talon Knife | Scorched (Minimal Wear) carries the same ivory handle, brass rivets, and saw-tooth ridge finished in a sun-dappled scorch pattern as every other copy of this knife. Minimal Wear is the second-lowest of the five wear grades, just a step below the finish's cleanest state.

Design

The scorch treatment is a weathered, sun-dappled spray-paint job over the ivory base, with the brass rivets and saw-tooth spine ridge left bare underneath. The flavor text reads "The Phoenix is not a symbol of destruction... it's a symbol of rebirth."

★ Talon Knife | Scorched (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Across its five grades this finish spans 0.06 to 0.80, and Minimal Wear covers roughly 0.07–0.15 of that scale. The pattern still reads sharply here — it's a small step down from Factory New rather than a visibly aged blade.

Talon Knife | Scorched Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★, the gold-tier rare special ("knife") slot that outranks every regular weapon grade dropped from the same case. That scarcity is set the moment the item drops, independent of the wear grade it lands on.

Talon Knife | Scorched Case and Collection

No single collection houses this finish — it comes out of the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case alike. Both cases share the same roughly 0.26% rare-special ("knife") pull rate, so most copies on the market came from trading rather than a lucky unbox.

Talon Knife Patterns

The pattern here is fixed rather than seed-driven — every Scorched copy wears the identical sun-dappled treatment no matter which paint seed generated it. There's nothing like a blue-gem chase to worry about; float and wear are what actually change from one copy to the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists, adding a permanent kill counter that carries over through trades and sales. Souvenir versions were never made, since knives simply don't appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages.

Talon Knife | Scorched Price

Minimal Wear runs a touch behind Factory New on Scorched's own price ladder, but the finish as a whole remains the most accessible way into this knife's lineup — still a premium purchase, since no Talon Knife finish is ever cheap. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How much does Minimal Wear differ from Factory New on this finish?

Not by much visually — Minimal Wear covers roughly 0.07–0.15 on the float scale, just above Factory New's 0.06–0.07 band, so the scorch pattern still reads clearly. It's a modest step down rather than a noticeably aged blade.

What case is the Talon Knife Scorched in?

It opens from the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case, not a single dedicated collection. Both cases share the same roughly 0.26% rare-special ("knife") odds, so buying the finish directly is far more common than pulling it.

Is the Talon Knife Scorched worth buying at Minimal Wear?

If you want the same look as Factory New for less, yes — the float difference is small enough that the pattern still reads sharp, and the price gap over Factory New can be worthwhile for buyers who don't need the absolute lowest float.
