★ Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler (Minimal Wear) Emerald

Skin overview

The Emerald phase of Gamma Doppler is easy to spot: the blade is green throughout, with no second colour in the marbling, set against black and light blue handles. In Minimal Wear the finish still reads as a saturated emerald in hand, and only close inspection reveals fine marks near the tip and cutting edge. It keeps the look of the phase while asking less than the cleanest grade.

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.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The blade is coated in a deep emerald green with darker and lighter marbled swirls under a glossy candy coat, and the spine and edge pick up bright green highlights. The handles are black with pale blue inlaid channels running along their length, framed by rows of cut-out holes.

In Minimal Wear faint scratches may appear at the very tip of the blade and along the cutting edge, where the coat thins slightly. The bulk of the blade, the marbling and the gloss remain intact. The handles and inlays look practically the same as on a Factory New copy. At normal viewing distance in game the difference is hard to notice, and it shows mostly when the blade is held close in inspect.

• Check whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag you want to keep.
