★ Survival Knife | Doppler (Minimal Wear) Phase 1

Skin overview

This Doppler Phase 1 Survival Knife is recognised by its dark marbling with pink and violet patches on a blue base, framed by the serrated edge and gut hook. In Minimal Wear the finish keeps nearly all of its colour, with only faint marks that are hard to spot on such a busy pattern. It is a way to own the same look at a lower grade without visibly giving up the gloss.

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.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The whole blade carries the Doppler finish: light blue and lavender near the tip, a pink to magenta zone in the middle and darker blue towards the guard and serrations. Black smoky veins run across the surface like marble, giving Phase 1 its darker, moodier character.

Small light scratches may appear near the tip and on the edges of the serration teeth, where the coating wears first. The central pink zone and the marbling keep their colour, and the gloss is still there over most of the blade. At normal distance in game the difference from Factory New is barely noticeable, mostly visible on close inspect. The handle still looks clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.08

The float of ★ Survival Knife | Doppler Phase 1 ranges from 0 to 0.08; the Minimal Wear quality covers 0.07–0.08 — 12% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

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

StatTrak™ version

There is also a the StatTrak™ version: the counter on the weapon tracks kills.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the inspect screenshot, since the share of black, pink and blue differs from copy to copy within Phase 1.
• Check the tip and the serration teeth for scratches, as these are the first spots to lose the coating.
• Note where the float sits within the wear range, because a low-float Minimal Wear can look very close to Factory New.
• See whether a name tag is applied and whether it suits you.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want the Phase 1 look and accept faint marks that are hardly visible in game.
• Buyers looking for a lower entry into a Doppler knife without giving up the colours.
• A practical option that keeps almost the full look of the finish.
