★ Navaja Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Ruby

Skin overview

★ Navaja Knife | Doppler (Ruby) is the Ruby phase of the Doppler finish on the compact Navaja, with a deep red blade and darker marbled swirls under a glossy candy coat. In Factory New the red stays even and saturated from the tip to the bolster, and the swirls keep their sharp edges. The light marble handle contrasts with the metal and makes the knife easy to recognise in hand.

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 blade is coated in bright ruby red with darker crimson, almost black-red marbled veins spread unevenly over the surface. The same red covers the bolster and pivot area, where a silver screw and the lock details stand out against the paint, while a thin bare-steel line runs along the cutting edge. The handle is a light tan marble with orange and reddish veining and small silver pins, and it is not part of the painted finish. On worn copies the candy coat goes first at the very tip, along the edge and on the raised parts around the pivot and lock.

The red coat is intact across the blade, bolster and pivot fittings, with no visible marks even on the tip. The gloss and depth of the colour are at their best, and the dark veins keep crisp borders. In game at normal distance it reads as a clean, saturated red knife. The marble handle looks the same as on any copy.

What to check before buying

• Note whether it is a StatTrak™ version and whether a name tag is applied.
