About the item
Description
“StatTrak™ Karambit | Doppler Black Pearl” combines a claw-shaped curved blade with a finger ring on the handle. On this compact blade, the finish follows the curve: the central colour area and the thin strip near the edge look different from those on a long, straight knife.
Black Pearl pairs a very dark base with restrained, multicoloured reflections. Purple and greenish shades can become clearer as the item turns. Its pearl-like effect emerges gradually rather than through one large bright colour area.
History
For the Karambit, Doppler introduced new artwork on a familiar claw-shaped blade. The finger ring and characteristic grip remained. The history of this finish belongs to the Karambit family and is separate from the model’s original release.
This is a named Doppler artwork alongside Ruby and Sapphire, not a more darkened Phase 1. Black Pearl is identified separately from the four numbered variants. Its name does not describe ageing or a heavily used condition.
StatTrak™ Karambit | Doppler Black Pearl appeared in the game on Jan 8, 2015.
Rarity
This Karambit is among the rare special items in its relevant cases. The ring and curved shape identify the model; the phase identifies the blade artwork. Neither an unusual angle nor a large bright area changes the skin’s quality.
Darkness alone cannot identify Black Pearl: some Phase 1 examples also look subdued. The intended artwork matters more than thumbnail brightness. Confirm this variant separately from the skin’s assigned quality and condition.
Rarity: Covert.
Characteristics
Inspect the Karambit’s curved blade, sharp tip and base near the handle. A reflection can hide much of this small curved surface. Several angles reveal the colour and edge without relying on one strong highlight.
Subtle transitions can disappear in an underexposed image, while excessive glare can hide them too. Several moderately lit views reveal the dark artwork and coloured reflections. Examine edges separately from the centre of the surface.
Recognition
The Karambit is recognizable by its claw-shaped blade and finger ring. Its inspection spin shows the finish from different sides. The compact curve gives the artwork a different character from the broad faces of an M9 or Huntsman Knife.
Its character suits a dark appearance with details that emerge through movement. Phase 1 can look similar in shadow, but pink-purple bands and Black Pearl’s restrained multicoloured reflections are not the same design.
Availability
Check both the main and reverse sides of a listed Karambit. A bright area in one view does not describe the entire curved surface. For price comparisons, match the Karambit model, phase and comparable condition.
Do not choose Black Pearl solely from a black-looking preview. Confirm the variant and inspect additional views. Compare the same model, condition and edition; a dark Phase 1 listing is not a direct equivalent.
Origin
This artwork is one of the Karambit’s intended Doppler variants. Neither the ring nor the curve identifies which particular case produced an example. The finish’s origin is tied to the model, while its journey to the current owner involves later trades.
The black-pearl name describes a finish effect rather than actual pearl material. Dark reflections are not produced by ageing or dirt. This intended Doppler artwork remains its own variant throughout ownership changes.
The item can be obtained from these containers: Chroma Case, Chroma 2 Case, Chroma 3 Case.
Versions
The standard Karambit and StatTrak edition keep the ring, claw-shaped blade and handling animations. The counter does not affect colour placement. Assess condition on the blade itself rather than treating the handle’s shadow as damage.
Small marks can be hard to see against the dark base. Choose condition using moderately lit areas rather than a nearly black thumbnail. The StatTrak edition adds a kill counter while keeping the same pearl-like finish.
Available conditions: Factory New, Minimal Wear.
