★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Doppler (Factory New) Phase 4

Skin overview

★ Karambit | Doppler (Phase 4) is a curved knife whose blade is covered in a candy-coated marbled finish of deep blue with lighter silvery-white clouds. The finger ring carries the same blue anodized colour, while the grip stays dark grey. In Factory New the coating reads as an unbroken glossy surface, and the marbling is visible right up to the tip.

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 blade carries the main pattern: a deep navy-blue base along the spine and tip with lighter blue and silvery-white marbled clouds across the middle of the curve. The colours shift between darker and brighter blue depending on where the marbling falls, so each copy shows its own arrangement.

In Factory New the blade coating is complete, with no visible scratches on the tip, spine or edge. The blue marbling keeps its full depth and gloss, and the lighter clouds look sharp against the dark base. The finger ring is evenly coloured all the way around. In game the knife reads as clean saturated blue at any distance.

What to check before buying

• Look at the inspect images of the tip and spine, since these are the first places where the coating wears.
• Compare how the light and dark blue areas are distributed on the blade, as the marbling arrangement differs from copy to copy.
• Check the finger ring for an even blue colour without lighter marks on its outer edge.
• Check whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag, since both change what you get.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the blue marbling fully intact from tip to ring.
• Players who inspect their knife often and want no marks on the curved blade.
• Conclusion: the choice for those who want this phase in its cleanest form.
