With a 2018 release, the Talon Knife made a rather late appearance in Counter-Strike. It is easy to confuse its silhouette with that of the Karambit, but its unique handle design makes it stand out. This knife is more affordable, costing only about $7,000, and can be considered the Karambit's younger brother.
