★ M9 Bayonet | Gamma Doppler (Factory New) Phase 3

Skin overview

★ M9 Bayonet | Gamma Doppler (Phase 3) is a long military knife with a blade covered in marbled blue, cyan and green, broken by darker smoky streaks under a candy coat. In Factory New the anodized layer is intact from tip to guard, so the colour shifts stay deep and glossy under any light. This is the grade for buyers who want the finish exactly as it was applied.

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.

Appearance in Factory New

The blade carries the main pattern: marbled swirls of bright blue near the tip, cyan and green through the middle, and dark smoky veins running across the surface. The serrated spine and the cutout near it pick up the same colours, with lighter highlights on the ridges. The crossguard, ring and pommel have a teal metallic finish that matches the blade, while the ribbed grip stays black. On worn copies the first marks appear on the blade tip and along the cutting edge, where the anodized layer is thinnest.

In Factory New the blade shows no visible marks, and the marbling is fully saturated from tip to guard. The tip and cutting edge, which wear first, are as clean as the rest of the blade. In game at normal distance the knife reads as a solid glossy mix of blue and green. The guard, ring and pommel keep an even teal shine.
