★ StatTrak™ M9 Bayonet | Doppler (Factory New) Black Pearl

Skin overview

★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler (Black Pearl) is a dark phase of the Doppler finish, with a near-black blade lit by violet and cool silver marbling. In Factory New the candy coat is unbroken, so the blade keeps a deep, glassy look and the pale veins stay sharp against the dark base. It suits a buyer who wants the phase exactly as intended, with nothing taken away by wear.

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.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The blade is covered in a near-black base with a strong violet tint, broken by a marbled web of silver and pale blue veins that spreads across the flat and toward the tip. The serrated spine and the hole in the blade carry the same dark coating, so the teeth read as dark notches with bright edges.

In Factory New the coating on the blade, spine and tip is intact. The marble veins stay crisp and the violet sheen shifts evenly as the knife turns in inspect. At normal distance in game the blade reads as a deep, uniform dark surface with bright accents. The crossguard, ring and pommel keep their clean purple tone.

What to check before buying

• Compare the float position within the range, since the lowest copies of each grade look the cleanest at the tip.
• Check the marble layout on screenshots, because the balance of dark base and silver veins differs between copies.
• Inspect the tip and cutting edge closely on Minimal Wear copies, as these show wear first.
• Confirm whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag you want to keep.
