★ Bowie Knife | Gamma Doppler (Factory New) Phase 4

Skin overview

★ Bowie Knife | Gamma Doppler (Phase 4) is a large sawback knife whose blade is covered in a marbled candy coat of cyan, teal and green. Phase 4 leans toward cool blue-green tones with pale, almost white-blue highlights near the tip. In Factory New the coating is glossy and unbroken, so the marbling stays sharp across the whole blade, the spine teeth included.

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.

Appearance in Factory New

The blade carries the whole finish: a marbled coat that shifts from deep teal patches near the spine to bright cyan in the middle and a pale blue-white zone toward the tip, with green tints running through the pattern. The sawback teeth on the spine are painted in the same marble and catch light as a row of small bright points. The guard and the pommel cap are lime green, which echoes the green streaks of the blade, while the handle is black with a textured surface and visible rivets. Pattern placement varies from copy to copy, so the share of dark teal versus light cyan differs between knives. On worn copies the coat first thins at the very tip, along the cutting edge and on the sawback teeth.

The candy coat is complete from the guard to the tip, with no visible scratches on the blade or the sawback. Low floats in this grade look perfectly glossy even in close inspection. In game the blade reads as a clean, bright blue-green surface at any distance. The handle and the green fittings show no marks either.

What to check before buying

• Compare the pattern on the inspect screen, since the balance of dark teal, bright cyan and green differs between copies.
• Check the tip and the sawback teeth, as these are the first places where the coat shows marks.
• Look at the float position within the grade, because Minimal Wear copies near the lower edge look almost identical to Factory New.
• See whether there is a name tag and whether the copy is StatTrak™ if that matters to you.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the blue-green marble without a single mark.
• Players who inspect their knife often and notice small details on the tip and spine.
