★ StatTrak™ Skeleton Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Phase 2

Skin overview

★ Skeleton Knife | Doppler (Phase 2) pairs the open-frame dagger shape with a candy-coated finish dominated by pink and magenta, broken up by purple and dark smoky marbling. In Factory New the coating is unbroken from tip to pommel, so the pink stays saturated and the marbled streaks keep their full depth. This is the grade for buyers who want the colour exactly as it looks in the preview.

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.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The double-edged blade carries most of the finish: a bright pink and magenta base with lavender and purple patches and darker smoky marbling that gathers toward the spine and the centre of the blade. The row of holes and the finger ring sit inside the same pink coating, which continues onto the frame and the pommel tip with its lanyard hole.

In Factory New the candy coating is intact on the blade, the ring and the pommel. The tip and edges show no visible scratches, and the marbling keeps sharp contrast between pink, purple and dark tones. In game the knife reads as a clean, glossy pink blade from any angle of the inspect animation. The black tape on the handle looks the same as on any other copy.

Factory New quality — float range 0–0.07

The whole float range of ★ StatTrak™ Skeleton Knife | Doppler Phase 2 is 0–0.08; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (88% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

It is the rare special item of Fever Case — knives and gloves drop far less often than the regular contents.

StatTrak™ version

This is the StatTrak™ version: the counter on the weapon shows confirmed kills. There is also the regular version without the counter.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the range, since a low float in Minimal Wear can look nearly identical to Factory New.
• Inspect the tip and cutting edges first, as that is where the coating shows scuffs earliest.
• Compare the pattern in the inspect view, because the share of dark marbling versus bright pink differs from copy to copy.
• Make sure whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it has a name tag, since both are part of the listing.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the Phase 2 colours with no compromise on the coating.
• Players who inspect their knife often and want the tip and edges spotless.
• Conclusion: the pick for those who value a fully intact finish over saving on the grade.
