★ Bowie Knife | Gamma Doppler (Factory New) Phase 2

Skin overview

★ Bowie Knife | Gamma Doppler (Phase 2) pairs a large sawback blade with a marbled anodized finish in teal, cyan and deep green. In Factory New the candy coating stays glossy across the whole blade, so the marbling and the light cyan streaks along the spine read sharp and unbroken. The green-tinted guard and pommel frame the colour against the black grip.

Item type: knife. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The blade carries the whole finish: a marbled pattern of deep green and teal with darker smoky patches toward the middle and bright cyan streaks running along the spine and toward the tip. The sawback teeth on the spine pick up the same colours, broken into small light and dark facets. The guard and the pommel cap are anodized in a metallic green that echoes the blade, while the grip stays black with a fine texture and visible fasteners. The marbling is unique to each copy, so the balance of light cyan and dark green shifts from knife to knife. On worn copies the first marks appear at the tip, along the sawback teeth and on the cutting edge.

The candy coating is intact over the whole blade, including the tip and the sawback teeth. The cyan streaks keep their bright glow and the dark patches stay deep and glossy. Copies at the upper end of the grade may show a faint mark on the tip only under close inspection. In game the knife looks fully clean from any distance.
