★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Ruby

Skin overview

★ Butterfly Knife | Doppler (Ruby) pairs the balisong's long, curved blade with a solid deep red finish broken by darker marbled swirls. In Factory New the red stays saturated from the tang to the tip, and the candy coat gives the blade an even, glassy depth. This grade suits a buyer who wants the Ruby colour exactly as it was intended, with no marks on the 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.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The whole blade is covered in a deep ruby red with darker crimson and near-black marbled clouds, and lighter red highlights along the flat. A thin silver line remains visible on the sharpened edge, which sets off the colour against the curved belly and the clipped tip.

In Factory New the blade has no visible marks, and the red is even across the flat, the belly and the tip. The marbled pattern keeps sharp transitions between the dark clouds and the brighter red. In game the knife reads as a uniform glossy red in the first-person view and during inspect animations. The handles and their red-orange channels look clean as well.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The float of ★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Doppler Ruby ranges from 0 to 0.08; the Factory New quality covers 0–0.07 — 88% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

What to check before buying

• Look at the tip and the cutting edge in the inspect view, since these are the first places where silver specks appear.
• Compare the balance of dark clouds and bright red on the blade, as some copies look darker and others brighter within the same phase.
• Check the float position within the range, because copies near the top of Minimal Wear may show a speck that cleaner ones do not.
• Check whether the knife has a name tag and whether a StatTrak™ counter is present, if either matters to you.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the Ruby phase with a completely clean blade.
• Players who inspect their knife often and notice every detail on the tip.
• Conclusion: the grade to pick when the cleanest look matters more than saving money.
