★ StatTrak™ Shadow Daggers | Gamma Doppler (Minimal Wear) Phase 3

Skin overview

In Minimal Wear the Shadow Daggers keep the full Phase 3 palette: emerald handles, cyan blades and cloudy green-white marbling toward the edges. Any wear at this grade is limited to small marks near the tips and handle rims, which are hard to see in first-person view. It is a way to own this phase while accepting a slight compromise on close inspection.

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

Both daggers share the same scheme: the handles with their large cut-out finger openings are coated in a bright, glossy emerald green. The green flows down the guard into the blades, where it turns into light cyan and teal with cloudy marbling in green, white and pale blue.

In Minimal Wear the first light scratches appear at the blade tips and along the cutting edges, where the dark blue-grey tone meets the edge. Small marks can also show on the outer rims of the handles. At normal distance in game this reads almost the same as Factory New, since the scratches are thin and sit in the darker parts of the blades. The central marbling and most of the green handle surfaces stay clean.

What to check before buying

• Inspect the blade tips and edges first, since that is where the coating wears away earliest.
• Check the outer rims of the handles and the edges of the finger openings for small scratches.
• Compare the float position within the grade, as a low-float Minimal Wear and a high-float Factory New can look very similar.
• Look at the screenshots to see how much green versus cyan this copy shows on the blades.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want the same look in game and accept minor marks at the tips.
• Buyers looking for a more affordable entry into this phase than Factory New.
• Conclusion: a practical option where the difference is visible only up close.
