★ Navaja Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Black Pearl

Skin overview

★ Navaja Knife | Doppler (Black Pearl) is a Doppler phase where the metal is a deep black-violet with a cold silvery marbling running through it. In Factory New the candy coat is intact, so the dark layers keep their glassy depth and the lighter streaks stay crisp against the blade. The orange marble handle gives a warm contrast to the cold blade.

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.

Appearance in Factory New

The Doppler finish covers the clip-point blade and the metal bolster of the frame, while the handle keeps its own orange-tan marble with reddish veins and stays unaffected by the paint. On the blade, the Black Pearl phase shows a dark navy-to-violet base with smoky silver and lavender streaks that look like marble suspended under a gloss coat. The bolster continues the same dark metallic violet and is marked by a brass pivot screw. The amount and placement of the lighter streaks differ from copy to copy, so some blades look darker and others more silvery. On worn copies the coat goes first at the blade tip, along the spine and on the edges of the bolster.

In Factory New the coat on the blade and bolster is complete, with no bare metal at the tip or along the spine. The dark base keeps its gloss and the silver marbling has sharp, clean borders. In game the blade reads as a uniform dark mirror with soft light streaks at any normal viewing distance. Copies near the top of the range can show the faintest marks only when inspected very closely.
