★ StatTrak™ Talon Knife | Case Hardened (Field-Tested)

What the StatTrak™ counter does

The ★ StatTrak™ Talon Knife | Case Hardened (Field-Tested, FT) is the StatTrak™ copy of this skin — the same Covert ★ finish, the same look, with a kill counter built into the model. The blade's saw-tooth ridges and brass rivets are built for cutting on the way in and tearing on the way out, and its color comes from case-hardening the steel with wood charcoal under high heat, leaving an uneven mix of blue, gold, and steel rather than any painted artwork. Field-Tested spans 0.15–0.38 on the float scale — the middle grade, and usually the easiest one to find on the market.

What StatTrak™ changes about the price of the Talon Knife | Case Hardened

The counter logs every confirmed kill you get with it and keeps the running total on the model. It belongs to the item and not to your account, so it travels with the skin through every trade and sale, and nothing sets it back to zero. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows.

Where a StatTrak™ copy comes from

A StatTrak™ copy is far scarcer than a plain one at the same finish and exterior, so it normally costs more. How much more follows the finish and the float rather than the number on the counter — a high kill count is a curiosity, not a price driver.

FAQ

Case Hardened comes from the Horizon Case and the Danger Zone Case, with no single point of release. StatTrak™ is settled at the drop: a copy either leaves the case with a counter or never has one, and it cannot be added afterwards.

Can the StatTrak counter on the Talon Knife | Case Hardened be reset?

No. The count only moves one way and stays with the item through every trade and sale. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows. It still cannot lower the number.

Does StatTrak change how the Talon Knife | Case Hardened looks?

No, apart from the counter on the model. The finish, the pattern and the float range are identical to the plain version, so at the same exterior the two look the same in hand.
