★ Stiletto Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Phase 4

Skin overview

★ Stiletto Knife | Doppler (Phase 4) pairs the slim Italian-style switchblade with a deep blue marbled finish over the blade and pommel cap. In Factory New the candy coat is unbroken, so the blue reads as rich and glossy, and the dark marbling stays crisp from the tip to the guard. It suits a buyer who wants this phase exactly as the finish was designed.

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.

Appearance in Factory New

The blade carries the Doppler finish: a candy-coated blue base with black and darker marbled swirls flowing along its length, with lighter blue patches catching the light. The bolster and guard are dark polished metal with a cool blue tint, while the handle scales stay brown with a warm bronze tone and small blue fittings. The pommel cap repeats the blue marbling of the blade, tying both ends of the knife together. Each copy has its own arrangement of blue and dark areas on the blade. On worn copies scratches appear first at the tip, along the cutting edge and on the spine, then on the raised pommel cap.

In Factory New the blade finish is intact from tip to guard, with no visible scratches on the edge or spine. The candy coat keeps its full gloss, so the blue looks deep and the marbling sharp. The pommel cap is equally clean. In game the knife reads as a solid, saturated blue blade.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the pattern, since the balance of bright blue and dark marbling on the blade differs from copy to copy.
• Check where the float sits within the wear range, as it decides whether scratches show at the tip.
• Inspect the tip, cutting edge and spine closely in the inspect view, where wear appears first.
• Note whether the knife has a name tag or StatTrak™, since both change what you are paying for.
