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

Skin overview

★ Stiletto Knife | Doppler (Sapphire) is the Doppler phase where the marbled blade is deep blue throughout, without the red, pink or green tones of other phases. In Factory New the candy coating is intact from spine to tip, so the blue keeps its full depth and glassy shine. This is the grade that shows Sapphire exactly as intended.

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 long, slim blade is covered in a marbled finish of deep sapphire blue with darker violet and near-black swirls, under a glossy candy coat. The bolster, the guard lugs and the butt cap carry the same anodized blue, which ties the metal parts to the blade.

The blade coating is complete, with no exposed silver at the tip or along the edge. The marbling keeps sharp transitions between the bright blue and the darker swirls, and the gloss is even. In game the knife reads as a solid, saturated blue blade in any light. The bolster and butt cap are equally clean.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the pattern, as the balance of bright blue and dark swirls on the blade differs from copy to copy.
• Inspect the tip and cutting edge, since that is where any wear on the coating shows first.
• Check where the float sits within the grade, because a low value means the cleanest possible edge.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ or carries a name tag, as both change the item you are buying.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the Sapphire phase in its cleanest form.
• Players who inspect their knife often and want a flawless blade up close.
• The choice when nothing should break the blue.
