★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler Phase 3 (Factory New)

“M9 Bayonet | Doppler Phase 3” has a broad blade, a serrated section on the spine and a prominent guard. Its large blade face displays neighbouring colours as distinct areas, unlike the narrower surface of the regular Bayonet.

Phase 3 mixes blue and greenish areas with a dark base. The result is a cool, varied appearance rather than one uninterrupted colour. One example may emphasize blue while another reveals more of the green transitions.

The Doppler treatment gave the M9 a new appearance while preserving its substantial blade and familiar bayonet construction. The finish was released for this model in its own right; that event is separate from the M9’s first appearance in the game.

This is the cool mixed-colour design within the numbered Doppler group. The Phase 3 name does not describe ageing or a stage reached after the pink variants. The item keeps this design throughout its later ownership.

M9 Bayonet | Doppler Phase 3 appeared in the game on Jan 8, 2015.

This M9 is a rare knife item rather than an ordinary weapon skin in the case. Its blade size and serrated spine identify the model but do not change the skin’s assigned quality tier.

A blue patch does not make this Phase 3 item Sapphire. Greenish transitions and dark sections belong to its mixed artwork. An informal claim of “almost Sapphire” cannot replace an accurate identification of the variant.

Rarity: Covert.

On the M9, examine the broad blade face, cutting edge and base near the guard. Serrations and changes of angle create additional shadows. A dark area in an image is therefore not necessarily a patch of colour or a sign of wear.

Compare the balance of blue and green against the dark background. A small patch near an edge looks different from a broad central area. Moderate lighting helps reveal their boundaries without a highlight making different shades look alike.

The M9 is recognizable by its substantial outline and distinctive spine. Its broad surface gives the finish more visible space than compact knives do. Choosing it involves both that imposing shape and the artwork of the selected phase.

This phase suits a darker appearance with cool, slightly green accents. It can be confused with Gamma Doppler when only one green area is visible, but the whole design and finish family need to be considered together.

Keep M9 listings separate from the regular Bayonet. Similar names do not make the models identical: blade width, profile and details differ. Within the M9 model, compare the phase, condition and presence of a counter.

Decide whether you prefer stronger blue, more visible green transitions or a mainly dark example. Those choices can look different within Phase 3. Compare this model and phase rather than using a Sapphire or Phase 4 listing as the same item.

This M9 finish comes from the cases that include this model with Doppler. The visible artwork belongs to its own blade. It is not the result of converting a regular Bayonet into an M9.

The blue-green artwork is an intended Doppler design, not a mixture of ordinary Doppler and Gamma Doppler. Even a strongly visible green section remains part of this Phase 3 item rather than evidence of a different finish family.

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

The StatTrak edition adds a kill counter while keeping the M9’s broad blade, guard and selected artwork. Assess condition separately, particularly along the edge and base. Shadows cast by the substantial shape cannot replace a surface inspection.

Small surface details can disappear in the darker sections of Phase 3. Inspect larger views of transitions and edges before choosing condition. An edition change does not turn this mixed design into the more blue-focused Phase 4.

Available conditions: Factory New, Minimal Wear.
