Karambit is much cleaner versus the talon which has an odd cerated blade with a bright handle that doesnt match with many skins

Karambit:
- More cute model, much better pullout animation, R+F spinning.

Talon:
- More brutal and bigger blade, rare inspect animtaion with spinning (but bad for R+F).

Personally I don't like Talon's grip.

karambit looks more expensive then talon

[~❀Deepy❀~]

Karambit, no doubt. Talon is like the younger retarded brother of karambit, you ain't gonna regret having a karambit

karambit looks more detailed

You should make your decision based on you own preferences. Some people may argue that one is better than the other, but it boils down to preference. Having said that, I prefer Karambit for its "look and feel" as well as its animations.

Karambit is actually better looking but the talon knife is less expensive so i would say it always depend on your budget

the karambit, easy win

the karambit is always a top 2, or at worst top 3 knife in community rankings (it'll never be #1 due to the butterfly of course)

the talon, on the other hand generally falls in the top 5 to top 8 range, and the prices reflect that too

the vanilla karambit for example costs more than double the talon

EVERYONE respects and loves the karambit, meanwhile, the talon is hit or miss

the karambit is just flawless, flawless design and animations (admittedly, the only thing that isn't flawless is the corner on some skins, but the talon is significantly worse when it comes to visual wear so the karambit wins in that aspect as well)

the talon, however, has a draw animation that many find annoying, it's not smooth, because it comes out, then bounces against the hand and comes back the other way, it looks glitchy, and the sound is a bit weird too

meanwhile, the karambit draw is one fluid motion in one direction with a nice sound, the karambit draw animation is so smooth and fluid that it feels like you're one with the knife

and then there's the handle, the karambit handle is shaped perfectly to fit your closed hand, all the grooves in the shape look like they were designed for maximum grip and comfort, the talon handle looks awkward due to having a flat surface

the karambit wins in every single way, in objective measures, by value, by aesthetics, by sound, by animations, by design, by status, literally by every measure you can think of

karambit vs talon is too easy of a question, for 99% of people, the answer is of course the karambit

if you want a good debate, try these knives against karambit and talon respectively:

karambit vs m9

talon vs skeleton

then you'll have more of a divide amongst your answers

dude, you can't say something controversial like that and not give reasons

if you say karambit, then it doesn't need an explanation, but if you say talon, then you have to give points as to why

you're the first person to say talon, all 10 responses prior to yours were karambit, and realistically, it should be 100% karambit

You'll hate the talon clunky animation and sound so much after a short time.

The karambit is much better, especially mid- and long term.
