★ Talon Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Phase 2

Skin overview

★ Talon Knife | Doppler (Phase 2) pairs a curved karambit-style blade with a marbled finish in bright pink and deep purple, set against an ivory handle with brass rivets. In Factory New the candy coating keeps its full gloss, so the pink bands look saturated and the dark marbling stays crisp from the tip to the saw-tooth spine. This is the grade for buyers who want the finish exactly as it was painted.

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 finish covers the whole curved blade, the saw-tooth spine with its three holes and the finger ring at the end of the handle. The blade shows the Phase 2 palette: wide washes of bright pink and magenta broken by darker purple and near-black marbled clouds, with lighter pink highlights running along the edge. The handle stays in pale ivory with brass rivets and a round emblem in the centre, which makes the pink blade stand out even more. How much pink and how much dark marbling ends up on the visible side depends on the pattern. On worn copies the tip, the cutting edge and the teeth on the spine lose the coating first, followed by the rim of the finger ring.

A Factory New copy shows no visible marks on the blade, the spine teeth or the ring. The gloss of the candy coating stays even across the whole finish, so the pink reads bright and clean in the inspect animation. At normal distance in game the knife looks exactly like the clean image. Copies near the top of this range may carry microscopic marks at the very tip that are only visible on close zoom.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the pattern, since the share of bright pink versus dark marbling on the visible side changes from copy to copy.
• Look at the float position within the range, as copies near the clean end show nothing even at the tip.
• Inspect the tip and the spine teeth up close, because these spots lose the coating first.
• Note whether it is a StatTrak™ copy and whether a name tag is applied, as both affect the offer.

Who should buy Factory New
