★ Bayonet | Doppler Phase 1 (Factory New)

“Bayonet | Doppler Phase 1” keeps the bayonet’s clean outline: a long blade, a small guard and a straight handle. The finish stretches along the blade, so a colour transition reads as a long band rather than a compact patch.

This Phase 1 finish balances pink and purple accents against a dark base. The position of the bright band matters: a small area near an edge can look much quieter than the same colour spread across the main visible surface.

For the Bayonet, Doppler added a new appearance to an established model. The straight construction and grip stayed the same; the change was the blade artwork. The release of this finish is separate from the original introduction of the bayonet itself.

Phase 1 identifies the dark pink-and-purple design within Doppler. Its number is a name for that colour variant, not an earlier release or the first stage of an upgrade. This item does not progress into Phase 2 through use.

This Bayonet belongs to the rare special items in its weapon cases. The long blade does not give it a separate rarity tier from other knife models. The skin’s assigned quality and the particular finish variant describe different properties.

An unusual pink area does not change this Phase 1 item into a named gemstone variant. The assigned rarity belongs to the skin, while the phase identifies its artwork. A seller’s description of an attractive pattern is a separate judgement.

Rarity: Covert.

Inspect the Bayonet’s long blade face, tip and base beside the guard. A band of colour can look continuous from one angle and more divided when turned. Looking at the handle alone cannot tell you the condition of the blade.

Follow the boundary between dark areas and pink-purple bands rather than only the strongest highlight. Turning reveals whether a bright area is part of the lasting artwork or a reflection that disappears at another angle.

The Bayonet is recognizable by its elongated outline and restrained, straight construction. Its finish is clearly visible along the long blade. This gives it a different character from a Karambit’s compact curve or a Butterfly Knife’s moving handles.

The dark base can resemble Black Pearl in a small image, but these are different designs. Look for the pink-purple transitions associated with Phase 1 and confirm the variant rather than identifying it from overall darkness.

Compare listings for this Bayonet and this finish variant. The M9 Bayonet is a different model despite the similar name. Their blade shapes differ, so a price for one is not a valuation of the other.

Compare Phase 1 examples with a similar amount of visible pink as well as matching condition. The same wear label does not guarantee the same appearance, and a listing named only Doppler may belong to another colour variant.

This Bayonet finish belongs to the rare knife selection in the relevant cases; it is not applied by the owner. The model and artwork are properties of the existing item. Trading it does not change the blade length or colour placement.

The dark sections are part of the Phase 1 artwork, not evidence that a brighter Doppler faded through use. Receiving or trading the item preserves its colour variant; it is not created by darkening another phase.

The item can be obtained from these containers: Chroma Case, Chroma 2 Case, Chroma 3 Case.

The standard Bayonet and its StatTrak edition retain the same blade shape and animations. The counter records kills, while condition describes surface preservation. Neither should be confused with the selected finish variant.

Condition describes preservation rather than the amount of pink. A darker Phase 1 example is not necessarily more worn. Match the selected edition and condition separately from the placement of colour on this particular item.

Available conditions: Factory New, Minimal Wear.
