★ Karambit | Gamma Doppler (Minimal Wear) Phase 3

Skin overview

This wear of ★ Karambit | Gamma Doppler (Phase 3) keeps the same cool green and blue marbling on the blade and ring, with only fine marks near the edge and tip. In first-person view the colours read almost the same as on a clean copy, since the dark grip draws no attention to small flaws. It suits buyers who want the Phase 3 look and accept faint traces of use.

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 curved blade carries the full Gamma Doppler coating: a marbled mix of teal, cyan and green, with lighter whitish clouds toward the spine and deeper green near the base. The finger ring is coated in the same palette, so the colour appears at both ends of the knife.

Fine scratches appear along the cutting edge and at the tip, with occasional marks on the outer rim of the ring. The marbled colour field on the flat of the blade remains whole and keeps its contrast. At normal distance and in inspect animations the difference from Factory New is small. The grip and its texture are unchanged.
