★ Talon Knife | Doppler (Factory New) Phase 4

Skin overview

★ Talon Knife | Doppler (Phase 4) pairs a deep blue marbled blade with the ivory handle and brass rivets of the Talon Knife. Phase 4 keeps the palette in cold blues, from bright cobalt to dark navy, with lighter hazy streaks running through the marbling. In Factory New the candy coat looks wet and unbroken, so the blue reads at full depth along the whole curve of the blade.

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 a marbled blue finish that shifts from dark navy near the spine to brighter cobalt toward the edge, with pale misty swirls breaking through the pattern. The saw-tooth ridges and the three holes along the spine are coated in the same blue, as is the finger ring at the end of the handle. The handle itself stays ivory-coloured, with brass rivets and a round brass medallion in the centre, which gives a warm contrast to the cold blade. The distribution of dark and light areas changes from copy to copy, so some knives look darker and others more washed with light blue. On worn copies the tip, the cutting edge, the spine teeth and the outer rim of the ring are the first places to lose the coat.

A Factory New copy shows no visible scratches on the blade, the spine teeth or the ring. The candy coat keeps an even gloss, and the transitions between navy, cobalt and the pale swirls stay sharp. In first-person view the knife reads as a clean blue blade with a bright ivory handle. Copies closer to the upper end of the grade may hide a tiny mark near the tip that only shows on inspection.

What to look at before you buy

• Check whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether the knife carries a name tag that you would want to keep or remove.
• Inspect the outer rim of the finger ring, which is painted and shows wear earlier than the flat of the blade.
