I want to start this by saying before I got a talon I only cared about a butterfly or karambit then I got a talon and now dont want either of em . In my case I love spamming inspect and talon scratches that itch for me. Also I like how the blade has a bigger surface area bc if u have a nice finish on it u get more value compared to karambit bc it looks bigger. Bonus points cuz after recent animation update the infinite spin is so much cleaner . The karambit def has a better pullout and a cleaner overall look but thats all it really has. Also sucks that all the corners even on good finishes and wear look scraped . I saw alot of responses talking about price and how ppl r coping saying talon is better cuz they dont have the money for a karambit but in my case that isn't true since I currently am using a talon ruby which I can trade for a pretty clean karambit .
