★ StatTrak™ Flip Knife | Doppler (Minimal Wear) Black Pearl

Skin overview

This Black Pearl phase of the Flip Knife Doppler is defined by a smoky black-and-silver marbling under a violet candy layer, set against an olive green grip. A Minimal Wear copy keeps that dark, pearly character almost entirely, with only faint marks along the blade that are hard to spot outside close inspection.

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: Factory New.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The paint covers the whole blade, from the acute curved tip to the serrated section near the pivot, in a marbled pattern of black and silver tones under a dark blue-violet candy coat. The marbling forms soft smoky swirls, and the violet tint is strongest where light hits the flat of the blade.

Light scuffs appear on the tip and along the cutting edge, and the serration teeth may show small bright points where the paint has thinned. The flat of the blade and the violet sheen stay clean. In game at normal distance the knife reads the same as a Factory New copy, and the marks show mostly in inspect animations. The handle is unaffected.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.08

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the range, since lower values keep the tip and serration clean.
• Look at how the marbling is laid out on the blade, because the swirl placement differs between copies.
• Inspect the tip and the serrated teeth in close-up, as these are the first places to lose paint.
• For a StatTrak™ copy, confirm the counter and any name tag suit you before buying.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want the Black Pearl look in game and accept faint marks on the edge.
• Buyers looking for a lower entry point into this phase.
• A practical option that looks the same as the cleanest grade at normal distance.
