★ Flip Knife | Doppler (Minimal Wear) Sapphire

Skin overview

This Flip Knife shows the Sapphire phase of Doppler: a single blue tone with soft violet depth and darker marbled clouds across the blade. The khaki handle and blue hardware frame the finish without competing with it. In Minimal Wear the blue reads the same at a glance, and any marks stay small and close to the point.

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 whole blade is coated in a deep sapphire blue with darker navy and violet marbling spread unevenly from the tip to the guard. The serrated section near the base of the spine takes the same blue, while the cutting edge shows a thin lighter line of exposed metal.

Light scuffs can appear near the acute tip and occasionally on the serration teeth, visible mostly when inspecting the knife up close. The main body of the blade keeps its full sapphire colour and marbling. In normal play the difference from Factory New is hard to spot. The handle and blue screws stay clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.08

The whole float range of ★ Flip Knife | Doppler Sapphire is 0–0.08; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.08 segment (12% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.
