★ StatTrak™ Gut Knife | Doppler (Minimal Wear) Phase 2

Skin overview

The gut knife's curved blade and spine hook carry a Phase 2 Doppler finish, with bright pink near the edge fading into dark violet marbling. In Minimal Wear the candy coat still reads as clean and vivid, and any marks stay small and close to the tip or hook. It keeps the same look in hand for a lower entry into this skin.

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: Factory New.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The blade is coated in a marbled anodized finish: vivid pink and magenta dominate the lower half and the cutting edge, while dark purple and near-black clouds gather along the spine and around the serrated section. The gut hook at the top of the spine shares the same pink tone with a dark outline.

Light scratches may show at the very tip of the blade and on the edge of the gut hook, sometimes with faint marks along the cutting edge. They are small and mostly visible only when the knife is turned on inspect. In normal play the colour reads the same as on a Factory New copy. The middle of the blade, the marbling near the spine and the handle remain clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.08

The whole float range of ★ StatTrak™ Gut Knife | Doppler Phase 2 is 0–0.08; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.08 segment (12% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What to look at before you buy

• Compare how much bright pink versus dark marbling the copy shows, since the pattern changes the overall look noticeably.
• Check the float position within the wear range, as a low float keeps the tip and hook cleaner.
• Inspect the blade tip and the gut hook closely, because these spots show wear first.
• Note whether the knife is StatTrak™ or carries a name tag, and decide if that matters to you.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want the Phase 2 colours in game at a lower cost.
• Buyers who accept tiny marks at the tip that are rarely visible in play.
• A sensible option for the same look with a small compromise.
