Appearance history
The inception of Gut Knife | Doppler Phase 4 (Gut P4) into the virtual armory occurred on January 8, 2015, as part of the vibrant 'Full Spectrum' update. This particular skin is procurable across the entirety of 'Chroma' case assortments.
Pattern description
Crafted with lustrous metallic hues, the blade boasts an ornate motif of diaphanous, sinuous lines akin to billowing smoke. Its aesthetic palette melds an array of blues with earthen browns and inky blacks, yielding seamless gradations. The hilt, carved from timber, retains its natural, unembellished state.
Effect of float
The Gut Knife | Doppler Phase 4's Float Value spans a minuscule range from 0.00 to 0.08, ensuring its exclusivity in Factory New and Minimal Wear conditions. Proximate to its maximal wear threshold, the knife exhibits pronounced scuffs and wear, notably along the dorsal ridge and the blade's base adjacent to the grip.
Pattern difference
Intricacies in the pattern index dictate the distribution and dominance of hues, influencing the interplay of cerulean, umber, and obsidian sections. Variants where azure tones command the blade's obverse are designated 'BTA Blue'. Those specimens where the blade gleams with an unadulterated sapphire hue are reminiscent of the Gut Knife | Doppler Sapphire and bear the moniker 'Max Blue'.
Skin Features
The Gut Knife | Doppler Phase 4 is distinguished by its Covert quality tier. It is equipped with a StatTrak feature and shares a kinship in scarcity with its brethren from phases 1 and 3. This skin is part of the esteemed 'Gut Knife | Doppler' collection.
Skin popularity
Among aficionados of the M9 Bayonet, the 'Doppler Sapphire' variant enjoys a particularly fervent following. Despite its coveted status and the enthusiasm it garners, its lofty valuation renders it a rare spectacle within the game's milieu.
