★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Doppler (Factory New) Phase 3

Skin overview

★ Karambit | Doppler (Phase 3) is a curved claw-shaped knife whose blade is covered in a candy-coated marbled finish of deep blue, indigo and pale smoky white. In Factory New the coating is complete from spine to edge, so the marbling reads as one continuous, glassy surface. The blue-anodized finger ring repeats the blade colours against a plain dark grey grip.

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 blade carries the full Doppler finish: a deep navy band along the spine that opens into bright blue and indigo marbling with pale, smoky white swirls across the flat. Closer to the guard the colour shifts towards a lighter teal-blue tint under the glossy candy coat.

In Factory New the candy coating is intact over the whole blade and the ring. The tip and cutting edge keep their colour, and the marbling stays sharp and glossy. Higher floats in this grade may show a barely visible speck on the tip only under close inspection. In game the knife looks perfectly clean from any angle.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since cleaner copies keep the tip fully coloured.
• Inspect the blade tip and cutting edge in the inspect view for small light marks.
• Look at how much light white smoke versus deep blue appears on the blade, as the balance differs between copies.
• Note whether the knife is StatTrak™ or carries a name tag, as both change its appeal for different buyers.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the Phase 3 blade with an untouched coating.
• Players who inspect their knife often and want a flawless tip and edge.
• The choice for those who want the cleanest version of this look.
