★ Shadow Daggers | Doppler (Factory New) Phase 3

Skin overview

★ Shadow Daggers | Doppler (Phase 3) is a pair of push daggers in the anodized Doppler finish, with blades that blend deep blue, violet and cyan under dark marbled clouds. The handles carry a polished teal-green coat that sets off the cooler tones of the blades. In Factory New the candy coating stays glossy and the colour transitions on the blades read clean and saturated.

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

Both blades carry the Doppler marbling: a base of deep blue and violet with cyan streaks and dark, smoky blotches spread across the flat. A polished cyan band runs along the spine area near the guard, catching light and contrasting with the darker blade body. The handles, with their open cut-outs, are coated in a smooth metallic teal-green, and each carries the small dark emblem near the guard. The colour layout on the blades differs from copy to copy, so the share of blue, violet and dark areas varies. On worn copies the first marks appear along the blade edges and the tips, then on the raised curves of the handles.

Factory New copies show the finish as intended, with no visible scratches on the blades or handles. The gloss of the candy coating stays even across the marbling, and the cyan band near the guard looks sharp. At normal distance in game the daggers read as bright blue-violet blades with teal handles. Edges, tips and handle curves all remain clean.
