★ StatTrak™ Nomad Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Sapphire

Skin overview

★ Nomad Knife | Doppler (Sapphire) is the Sapphire phase of the Doppler finish: the blade is covered in deep blue and violet with darker smoky marbling running through it. In Factory New the candy coat stays even from tip to bolster, so the colour transitions look clean and saturated. The silver frame and black grip insert keep the blue as the focal point.

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 Sapphire colours: deep blue that shifts into violet, with lighter cyan near the tip and along the edge. Darker smoky swirls run through the colour in a marbled pattern, and their placement differs from copy to copy.

In Factory New the blue and violet coat is intact across the blade, the bolster and the liners. Copies at the top of the range can show a barely visible speck near the tip, but nothing that changes the colour. In first-person view the blade reads as one solid, saturated blue with clear marbling. The silver frame and black insert look clean.

Factory New quality — float range 0–0.07
