★ StatTrak™ Bowie Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Sapphire

Skin overview

★ Bowie Knife | Doppler (Sapphire) is a Doppler phase whose blade is filled almost entirely with deep blue that drifts into violet, with soft lighter clouds running through the marbling. In Factory New the candy coating stays glossy and unbroken, so the blue reads as a solid, saturated colour from the tip to the guard. It suits a buyer who wants the phase exactly as it was painted, with nothing breaking the colour.

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 carries the Sapphire colouring of the Doppler finish: deep blue across most of the surface, turning violet towards the edge, with pale blue and whitish haze in the marbling near the tip. The marbled pattern shows as soft darker and lighter clouds under a glossy candy coat.

In Factory New the blade shows no visible wear: the candy coat is intact on the tip, the edge and the spine teeth. The teal guard and pommel keep a clean, even sheen. In game, from the normal first-person view, the blade reads as a solid sheet of blue and violet. Copies at the lower end of the range look the same at a glance, and differences show only on close inspection.

The whole float range of ★ StatTrak™ Bowie Knife | Doppler Sapphire is 0–0.08; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (88% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the tip and the sawback teeth, since these are the first places where the coating shows marks.
• Compare the marbling on several copies, as the amount of pale haze and dark clouds on the blade differs from one copy to another.
• Check where the float sits within the wear range if you want the cleanest possible blade.
• Note whether the knife is StatTrak™ and whether it has a name tag, because both affect what you are buying.
