Minimal Wear (MW) floats range from 0.07-0.15, with slight scratches or fading visible on close inspection. For the ★ Talon Knife | Safari Mesh, the price difference between FN and MW can range from 10% to over 100% depending on how visible the wear is on this particular finish.

Is the ★ Talon Knife | Safari Mesh worth the price?

For players who main the Talon Knife, this skin offers an excellent balance of visual appeal and investment stability compared to budget alternatives.
What is the float value range for the ★ Talon Knife | Safari Mesh?
Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). This skin cannot be obtained in Factory New condition due to its minimum float of 0.06. The best possible condition is Minimal Wear. Lower float values within any condition category (e.g., 0.01 vs 0.06 in Factory New) result in cleaner appearances and typically command higher prices. For high-value trades, always verify the exact float value using inspection tools.

Prices vary across marketplaces due to fees, regional pricing, and seller competition. The Steam Community Market is convenient but charges 15% fees.
