★ StatTrak™ Flip Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Phase 4

Skin overview

★ Flip Knife | Doppler (Phase 4) is a Covert knife whose back-swept blade is covered in a candy-coated marble of deep blue and violet. In Factory New the coating stays glossy from the point to the serrations, so the blue gradient reads at full depth with no breaks. This is the grade for buyers who want the colour exactly as the finish was made.

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.

Appearance in Factory New

The whole blade carries the finish: a marbled field of dark navy, cobalt and violet, with lighter blue streaks running along the curve toward the acute point. Darker patches gather near the spine and the base, while the serrated section keeps the same blue tone.

The candy coat is intact across the blade, with no visible marks on the point, edge or serrations. The marble keeps its full contrast between dark and light blue areas. At normal viewing distance in game the blade reads as one solid glossy blue surface. The grip and hardware look the same as on the image.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of ★ StatTrak™ Flip Knife | Doppler Phase 4 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

• Check where the float sits within the range, since the lowest values keep the point and edge fully glossy.
• Look at the pattern on inspect, because the balance of dark and light blue on the blade changes from copy to copy.
• Inspect the tip and the cutting edge closely, as these are the first places the coating wears.
• Check whether the knife has a name tag and whether it suits you.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Players who want the blue gradient fully clean on every inspect.
• Collectors who look for low float and a pattern with a strong blue balance.
• Conclusion: the choice for those who want the finish without compromise.
