★ Talon Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Phase 1

Skin overview

★ Talon Knife | Doppler (Phase 1) pairs a curved karambit-style blade with an ivory handle and brass rivets. The blade carries a marbled candy coat in dark tones, where black swirls mix with blue and pink. In Factory New the coat stays glossy and unbroken, so the marbling reads cleanly from the tip down to the finger ring.

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 candy coat over a marbled base: dark black swirls run across the whole surface, with blue in the middle of the blade and pink and violet toward the tip. The saw-tooth spine and the three round holes cut through the pattern and stand out against the dark marbling. The handle is ivory-coloured with brass rivets and a round central emblem, and stays outside the coloured finish. The finger ring is painted in the same coat and here reads mostly pink and magenta. On worn copies the first marks appear on the tip, the cutting edge and the spine teeth.

In Factory New the candy coat is intact across the blade, spine and ring. The tip and edge show no visible marks, and the gloss of the marbling stays even. In game the black, blue and pink areas read as a smooth, deep finish at any distance. The ivory handle and brass rivets look clean.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of ★ Talon Knife | Doppler Phase 1 is 0–0.08; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (88% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the pattern on the inspect screen, because Phase 1 copies differ in how much of the blade is black versus blue and pink.
• Check the tip and the cutting edge closely, as these are the first places where scratches show.
• On Minimal Wear copies, compare the float position, since a low float looks closer to Factory New.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag, as both change what you are buying.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the marbled coat without a single mark on the tip.
• Players who inspect their knife often and value the glossy finish up close.
• A clean copy for those who want the darkest Doppler phase in its best state.
