★ Skeleton Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Phase 1

Skin overview

★ Skeleton Knife | Doppler (Phase 1) is a dagger-shaped knife with an open finger ring, finished in a candy-coated marble of blue, violet and pink over dark streaks. Phase 1 is the darker variant of the Doppler finish, with deep shadows breaking up the brighter pink and blue areas. In Factory New the coating stays glossy and unbroken across the whole blade, so the colour transitions look smooth 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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The blade is a symmetrical double-edged dagger with a central ridge, covered in a marbled pattern where pink and magenta dominate the middle and lower part while blue and violet take over toward the tip. Dark smoky streaks run through the colours, giving Phase 1 its heavier, shadowed look. The three small holes along the spine and the finger ring are framed by the same blue-violet marble, which also continues onto the narrow pommel with its lanyard hole. The handle is wrapped in black tape, with flashes of pink showing between the wraps. On worn copies the first marks appear on the tip and the sharpened edges, while the tape-wrapped grip shows little change.

Factory New copies show the candy coating intact on the blade, ring and pommel. The tip and edges keep their full colour, and the dark streaks stay crisp against the pink and blue. In game the knife reads as a clean, glossy marble at any distance. Copies near the top of this grade can carry a barely visible speck, but nothing that breaks the pattern.

What to check before buying

• Look at the pattern placement, since copies differ in how much pink, blue and dark streaking covers the blade.
• Check the float within the grade, because a low float keeps the tip and edges cleanest.
• Inspect the tip and the sharpened edges on Minimal Wear copies for faint marks.
• Decide whether a StatTrak™ counter or a name tag matters to you, as both versions can be found.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the Phase 1 marble with the coating fully intact.
• Players who inspect their knife often and want glossy, unbroken colour on the tip.
• Conclusion: the choice for those who want the cleanest version of this knife.
