★ Flip Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Phase 1

Skin overview

★ Flip Knife | Doppler (Phase 1) is a Covert knife with an anodized blade in deep wine red, magenta and blue-violet tones over a dark marbled base. The swept Persian-style blade carries the marbling from the serrated spine to the acute point, while the olive grip stays plain. In Factory New the candy coat looks glossy and even, and the colour shifts across the blade with no interruptions.

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 finish covers only the blade: a dark marbled base glazed with wine red and magenta near the guard, shifting into blue and violet toward the swept tip. The marbling forms soft cloudy veins with darker patches, giving Phase 1 its mostly dark, moody look. The serrated section on the spine and the pivot area pick up the same tones, and the pivot screw and thumb hole accents show a pink tint. The olive green handle with grooved ridges keeps its standard textured look. On worn copies the tip of the blade, the edge and the serrations lose colour first.

The blade is fully intact, from the point to the guard, with a uniform glossy candy coat. The tip and serrations keep their colour and show no visible marks. In game the knife reads as a clean dark red-violet blade with smooth colour transitions. The olive handle looks unchanged.
