★ StatTrak™ M9 Bayonet | Doppler (Minimal Wear) Black Pearl

Skin overview

This is the same Black Pearl blade, dark with violet sheen and silver-blue marble veins, but at the Minimal Wear grade. The finish still reads as dark and lustrous, and any marks are small and mostly confined to the tip and cutting edge. For most buyers it gives the full character of the phase while leaving room in the budget.

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: Factory New.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

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 Minimal Wear small scuffs can appear near the tip and along the cutting edge, more often on copies toward the upper end of the range. The serrations may show faint lightening on their points, while the flat of the blade usually stays clean. In game these marks are hard to notice, and the knife still reads as glossy and dark. The marble pattern and the purple crossguard remain fully readable.

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.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want the Black Pearl look in game and do not mind faint marks at the tip.
• Buyers looking for a more accessible entry into this phase.
• Minimal Wear keeps the phase's character and is a sensible choice for everyday use.
