★ StatTrak™ Bayonet | Doppler Ruby (Factory New)

“StatTrak™ Bayonet | Doppler Ruby” 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.

The Ruby finish gives this item saturated ruby-red tones with deep darker transitions. Its appearance is more unified than the pink-purple numbered variants. Reflections bring depth without turning the metal into actual gemstone.

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.

Ruby is a named Doppler variant rather than a fifth numbered phase or an upgraded Phase 2. The name identifies this red artwork on the model, not a different generation of weapon or a later stage reached through use.

StatTrak™ Bayonet | Doppler Ruby appeared in the game on Jan 8, 2015.

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.

A reddish Doppler is not automatically Ruby. Phase 2 keeps a pink-purple palette, while this item uses the ruby design. Confirm the variant first; a gemstone name is not an additional official quality tier above the skin’s rarity.

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.

Assess the depth of red, transitions and preservation rather than searching for one large pink band. Strong lighting can lighten the red locally. Several angles show how the same finish behaves across the item’s actual contours.

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.

The unified red appearance is the key distinction from Phase 2’s pink and purple. Excessive glare can reduce that difference in a thumbnail. Quieter lighting makes the colour character easier to compare on this particular model.

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.

First confirm Ruby rather than a red-looking image labelled only Doppler. Then compare this model, condition and edition. Look at edges and transitions in close views before assessing the price against other Ruby examples.

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.

The gemstone resemblance comes from the coating, not the material of the item. Ruby is not made by adding a stone to another Doppler. The red artwork belongs to the intended finish and stays the same through trading and use.

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.

Small details can be noticeable against Ruby’s saturated red surface. Inspect edges as well as the centre when choosing condition. An available special edition preserves the red design rather than making the colour richer or changing the phase.

Available conditions: Factory New, Minimal Wear.
