★ StatTrak™ Gut Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Phase 1

Skin overview

★ Gut Knife | Doppler (Phase 1) has a candy-coated marbled finish on the blade, with deep maroon across the spine and a cool blue-violet sheen toward the edge. The gut hook and the serrated thumb rest carry the same dark red tone, against a warm wooden handle. In Factory New the marbling stays crisp and glossy from the tip to the guard, 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.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear.

Appearance in Factory New

The paint covers the whole blade: the spine, the gut hook and the serrated thumb rest are in deep maroon with darker marbled veins. Toward the cutting edge and the tip the colour shifts into blue and violet with silvery highlights, and the bevel line reads as a bright cool stripe.

The blade is fully intact, with an even gloss over the maroon and blue areas. The tip, the gut hook and the serrations show no marks. In game the gradient from dark red to blue reads clearly on the inspect animation. The wooden handle carries no paint and looks the same in every wear.

• Check whether the knife has a name tag and whether you like it.
