Why is the ★ Talon Knife | Slaughter so expensive?

Supply is inherently limited while demand remains consistently high from collectors and players. The Slaughter finish is particularly sought-after for its distinctive appearance. Market prices reflect both scarcity and desirability within the CS2 trading community.
What is the float value range for the ★ Talon Knife | Slaughter?
Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). With a float range of 0.01 to 0.26, this skin has specific wear availability that affects pricing. 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.
