★ Huntsman Knife | Gamma Doppler (Factory New) Phase 1

Skin overview

★ Huntsman Knife | Gamma Doppler (Phase 1) has a tanto blade covered in a marbled pattern of cool blue, white and teal over a candy-coated metallic base. In Factory New the swirls stay sharp and the gloss is even from the sawback spine to the point. The colours read as clear glass rather than paint.

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 whole blade, including the sawback teeth on the spine and the fuller line, is covered in a marbled swirl of white, pale blue and violet-blue with patches of teal and green. The green tones gather near the spine and the area above the guard, while the edge and tanto point lean toward lighter blue and white. The finger guard and the lanyard ring at its tip share the same anodized colour. The grip stays black with a fine textured surface and green-tinted screw heads. On worn copies the tip of the point and the cutting edge lose their coating first, followed by the spine teeth.

The coating is intact across the blade, the guard and the spine teeth. The tip and the cutting edge keep their full colour and gloss. In game the knife reads as a bright blue and white blade with green accents at any normal distance. The black grip looks the same as on the image.

What to check before buying

• Look at the pattern on the inspect screen, since the balance of green, blue and white on the blade changes from copy to copy.

• On Minimal Wear copies compare the float position within the range, as low floats look practically identical to Factory New.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag you want to keep.
