★ StatTrak™ M9 Bayonet | Doppler (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler is a long military-style knife whose blade is covered in a candy-coated metallic finish with dark marbled swirls. On this copy the blade shifts from pink and red into purple and blue, while the grip stays dark and plain. In Factory New the coating reads as a smooth, unbroken gloss from tip to guard, which is the main reason buyers choose this grade.

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 finish: a metallic gradient that moves from pink and red near the edge into purple and blue toward the spine and tip, overlaid with dark marbled smoke. The serrated spine, the hole in the blade and the long edge catch the colour as glossy highlights.

In Factory New the candy coating stays clean along the entire blade, including the tip and the serrated spine. The gradient and the marbling look sharp and saturated from every angle in the inspect view. In game at normal distance the knife reads as a bright, glossy blade with no visible flaws. The guard and grip look exactly as on the image.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the actual colour mix and marbling on the blade, since the pattern differs between copies and strongly affects the look.
• Check where the float sits within the wear range, especially on Minimal Wear copies close to the upper edge.
• Inspect the tip and the serrated spine for scratches, as these lose the coating first.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag you want to keep.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Players who inspect their knife often and notice every mark on the blade.
• Conclusion: the choice for those who want the finish without compromise.
