★ Bayonet | Doppler Phase 4 (Minimal Wear)

“Bayonet | Doppler Phase 4” 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.

Phase 4 combines blue areas with dark bands, creating a cool and contrasting appearance. Broad blue coverage can look very different from several smaller strips, even though both examples belong to the same intended variant.

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.

The number completes Doppler’s numbered group rather than marking a final upgrade. Sapphire exists alongside it as a different design. Their shared blue appearance makes the full Phase 4 identification important on this model.

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.

Extensive blue coverage does not reclassify this Phase 4 item as Sapphire. The variants remain separate even when their thumbnails look similar. Confirm the finish before assessing an unusually attractive layout or comparing prices.

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.

Look at where blue runs across the surface and how dark areas interrupt it. A highlight can briefly brighten a dark band and suggest more uniform blue. Turning the item reveals the boundaries that persist under different light.

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.

Its appeal comes from visible blue balanced by dark contrast, not only a resemblance to Sapphire. Compared with Phase 3, the overall palette is more blue-focused. Consider the complete artwork rather than one isolated bright strip.

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.

Check both sides if a broad blue area matters to you. A listing image may favour the best view. Keep Phase 4 and Sapphire comparisons separate, then match condition and edition within the selected design.

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.

Blue and dark areas belong to one Phase 4 artwork. A dark strip is not evidence of repainting, and a large blue section does not mean the item originated as Sapphire. The pattern is an intended finish on this model.

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.

Distinguish dark artwork from actual surface wear when choosing condition. A small picture can make them look similar. A counter or cleaner surface does not guarantee any particular amount of blue in this Phase 4 example.

Available conditions: Factory New, Minimal Wear.
