★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler Phase 4 (Factory New)

“M9 Bayonet | Doppler Phase 4” 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 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.

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.

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.

M9 Bayonet | Doppler Phase 4 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.
