★ StatTrak™ M9 Bayonet | Doppler (Factory New) Sapphire

Skin overview

★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler (Sapphire) is a full-size bayonet whose blade, guard and ring are coated in a deep blue anodized finish with violet shifts and darker marbled veins. In Factory New the colour sits evenly from tip to guard and the candy coat keeps its glassy depth. This is the grade for buyers who want the blue phase as close to untouched as it gets.

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 is coloured in deep sapphire blue with violet tones toward the spine and a darker marbled pattern running across the flat. The saw-back teeth and the cutting edge show bare silver steel, which frames the blue and makes the outline sharp.

In Factory New the blue covers the blade, guard and ring without visible breaks. The tip and the edges along the saw-back remain fully coloured. In game the knife reads as a solid, glossy sapphire at any distance. Only close inspection might reveal a faint speck on the cleanest end of the range.
