About the item
Description
“Butterfly Knife | Gamma 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.
Gamma Phase 1 puts green and turquoise bands against a substantial dark base. A turquoise strip can become the main accent or give way to green. Judge the balance across the whole visible surface rather than its brightest small patch.
History
For the Butterfly Knife, Gamma 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.
This Phase 1 belongs to Gamma Doppler, not the pink-purple Phase 1 of ordinary Doppler. The shared number identifies a position within separate finish families. It does not mean the item is preparing to become Emerald.
Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 1 appeared in the game on Sep 21, 2021.
Rarity
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.
Green bands do not turn this numbered variant into Emerald. The dark green-turquoise artwork has its own identity. The skin’s quality is separate from the phase and from a buyer’s preference for a particular bright area.
Rarity: Covert.
Characteristics
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 borders of coloured strips against the dark base. A broad green area and a narrow turquoise accent can change their visual importance across the model’s contours. Turning separates stable boundaries from reflections.
Recognition
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.
This variant offers green accents without an almost continuous bright surface. Its contrast is quieter than the more green-forward designs. Remember the Gamma family when comparing it with an ordinary Doppler also labelled Phase 1.
Availability
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.
Confirm the full Gamma Doppler name before comparing Phase 1 listings. Within this variant, check how much dark base is visible. Matching condition does not guarantee the same green-turquoise balance on the selected model.
Origin
This artwork is an intended Butterfly Knife variant within Gamma 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 base does not mean an Emerald item lost colour, and turquoise is not produced by wear. Both belong to this intended Gamma Phase 1 artwork. Ownership changes preserve its colour layout rather than creating a new phase.
The item can be obtained from these containers: Operation Riptide Case, Dreams & Nightmares Case.
Versions
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.
Overall darkness is not a reliable measure of this item’s condition. Large dark sections can belong to clean artwork. Inspect edges and transitions under useful light; an edition change does not turn the design into Emerald.
Available conditions: Factory New, Minimal Wear.
