★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler (Factory New) Phase 2

Skin overview

★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler (Phase 2) is a full-size bayonet in an anodized multicolored finish where pink and violet tones run through dark marbled swirls. In Factory New the candy coat lies evenly across the whole blade, so the metallic depth of the colour and the fine smoky veins stay intact from the tip to the guard. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the finish exactly as it was designed.

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: Minimal Wear.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The blade is covered in a candy-coated marbled finish of pink, magenta and violet, broken up by dark smoky swirls that shift in placement from copy to copy. The serrated spine and the cutout hole near the tip sit inside the same colour field, while the guard and the muzzle ring are painted a solid matching pink. The grip stays a dark segmented rubber with a pink butt cap, which frames the bright blade. On worn copies the coat goes first at the very tip, along the cutting edge and on the raised teeth of the spine serrations.

A Factory New copy shows the candy coat unbroken across the blade, guard and ring. The tip, the cutting edge and the spine teeth keep their full colour with no visible lightening. In game the blade reads as a clean, glossy pink-violet surface at any distance. The rubber grip and pink butt cap look untouched as well.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position, since copies near the cleaner end of each grade show fewer marks at the tip.
• Check the pattern, because the balance of bright pink and dark marbling on the blade differs from copy to copy.
• Inspect the tip and the spine teeth closely on Minimal Wear copies, as these are the first places the coat thins.
• Note whether a name tag is applied and whether it suits you.
