★ M9 Bayonet | Gamma Doppler (Minimal Wear) Phase 3

Skin overview

The Phase 3 Gamma Doppler on the M9 Bayonet is recognised by its cool blue-to-green marbling and the teal metallic guard with a ring. In Minimal Wear the coloured blade still reads as clean, and any marks stay small and mostly near the tip, visible only on close inspection. It keeps the same look in hand while sitting a step below the cleanest grade.

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.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

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.

In Minimal Wear the finish is still nearly complete, but copies toward the higher end of the range can show faint scratches at the tip and small marks along the cutting edge. The centre of the blade and the serrated spine generally stay clean. In game and on inspect from normal distance these marks are hard to notice, and the colours look the same as in Factory New. The guard and pommel remain clean.
