★ Butterfly Knife | Doppler Phase 1 (Factory New)

“Butterfly Knife | Doppler Phase 1” combines a reflective blade with a balisong construction. Two moving handles open around the blade, and inspection turns the knife in the hand. The finish’s appearance therefore depends on both the shape and its movement.

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 Butterfly Knife, Doppler gave an established balisong a new appearance. Its two handles and opening animations remained. The release of this artwork is separate from the original introduction of the model.

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 Butterfly Knife belongs to the rare special items in its cases. The moving construction identifies the model but does not create a separate quality tier. Assess phase artwork and blade preservation independently of the animations.

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 both sides of the Butterfly Knife’s elongated blade and the base beside the pivots. A handle can cover part of the surface during opening. Several positions reveal the entire artwork rather than only the brightest moment of movement.

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 Butterfly Knife is recognizable by its two opening handles and inspection flips. The finish keeps changing its angle to the light, so a still image conveys only part of the appearance. These movements distinguish it from fixed-blade knives with the same finish.

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.

When comparing Butterfly Knife listings, examine the open blade from both sides. An attractive animation frame does not show every detail near the pivots and tip. Confirm the model and phase before comparing condition and edition.

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 artwork is an intended Butterfly Knife variant within Doppler. It is not applied through use and does not depend on the number of openings. The balisong model connects the finish to particular cases; trading preserves its blade artwork.

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: Spectrum Case, Spectrum 2 Case.

The standard and StatTrak editions retain the two moving handles, opening animations and chosen finish. The counter records kills; condition describes blade preservation. These properties do not replace one another when choosing a Butterfly Knife.

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.
