★ Survival Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Phase 4

Skin overview

★ Survival Knife | Doppler (Phase 4) carries the Doppler finish in its Phase 4 colouring: a deep blue blade with violet tones and dark marbled veins running through the metal. In Factory New the candy coat shows no breaks, so the gradient stays smooth from the gut hook down to the serrated section. This is the copy for a buyer who wants the blue to look exactly as the finish was made.

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 whole blade, including the spine, gut hook and the long cutout slot, is covered in a candy-coated marble finish. Phase 4 keeps the colour in blue: saturated cobalt with violet areas and darker smoky veins, brightening to lighter blue toward the tip. The serrated teeth stay bare silver and contrast with the coloured metal around them. The composite handle is dark grey with textured panels and hex bolts, and the lanyard hole at the end picks up the same blue. On worn copies the coating goes first at the very tip, along the cutting edge and around the serrations.

The candy coat is intact over the whole blade, with no exposed metal at the tip or the edge. The blue and violet gradient reads cleanly in both the first-person view and the inspect animation. The serrations and the gut hook keep crisp outlines around the colour. The handle looks the same as on any other wear, so all the difference sits in the blade.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position inside the range, since a low Minimal Wear copy looks almost like Factory New.
• Look at the tip and the edge near the serrations in inspect, as these spots lose coating first.
• Compare the shade of blue and the amount of violet and dark veining between copies, because the pattern differs from one knife to another.
• Check whether the knife carries a name tag and whether it suits you.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the Phase 4 blue with an untouched coating.
• Players who spend time in inspect and want a clean blade from every angle.
• A sound choice when the condition of the finish matters more than the saving.
