★ Bayonet | Doppler Phase 1 (Minimal Wear)

The ★ Bayonet | Doppler Phase 1 (Minimal Wear) shows the same black base marbled with pink and a sliver of blue that defines this Covert ★ phase. Minimal Wear is the lower of only two grades Phase 1 reaches, still sitting close to the top of its narrow float range.

Design

A black base carries pink marbling with just a touch of blue mixed through it, a subtler combination than the single-color gem phases in the Doppler lineup. The flavor line on this finish reads "Getting lost in its color can prove fatal."

★ Bayonet | Doppler Phase 1 (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Because this phase is capped between 0.00 and 0.08, Minimal Wear is as worn as Phase 1 ever gets — a full-range finish at this float would already show noticeable wear, but here it still reads close to mint. It's a small step down from Factory New rather than a heavily aged grade. On the float scale, Minimal Wear spans 0.07–0.08.

Bayonet | Doppler Phase 1 Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★, the rare special ("knife") tier that outranks every regular weapon grade in a case. That scarcity is set by the tier itself, regardless of which of the two available wears a copy falls on.

Bayonet | Doppler Phase 1 Case and Collection

Phase 1 is pulled from the Chroma Case, the Chroma 2 Case, or the Chroma 3 Case. Across the rare-special tier as a whole, the odds sit around 0.26% per case opening, which is why most copies of this exact phase change hands on the market rather than from a fresh unbox.

Bayonet Doppler Phases

This is Phase 1 of the Doppler lineup. The three gem phases, Ruby (red), Sapphire (blue), and Black Pearl (iridescent), rank above the numbered Phase 1-4 in rarity and price, and among the numbered set, the more saturated Phase 2 and Phase 4 tend to draw more demand than Phase 1. Whatever phase a copy is assigned stays fixed for life, unaffected by wear.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This knife is also available as a StatTrak™ version, carrying a permanent kill counter through every trade or sale. Souvenir versions were never made for it — knives simply don't appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of phase.

Bayonet | Doppler Phase 1 Price

Minimal Wear sits a step below Factory New on Phase 1's own price ladder, making it the more accessible of the phase's two grades, while the phase overall still runs high-end, priced with this knife's rarer finishes. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Minimal Wear a big downgrade from Factory New on the Doppler Phase 1?

Not really. Since Phase 1 is capped at a 0.08 float, Minimal Wear still lands well inside near-mint territory, a modest step down rather than a visibly worn skin. The gap is far smaller than on a full-range Bayonet finish.

Is the Bayonet Doppler Phase 1 worth it?

Phase 1's black-and-pink marbling gives it a subtler look than the gem phases or the more saturated Phase 2 and Phase 4, but it's still part of the same rare-special Covert ★ tier. It's a premium pick, not a cheap one, which is true of every Bayonet finish.

What's the cheapest way to get a Bayonet Doppler phase?

Among the numbered phases, Phase 1 and Phase 3 tend to run lighter than the more sought-after Phase 2 and Phase 4, and well below the three gem phases. Choosing Minimal Wear over Factory New shaves a bit more off the price within Phase 1 itself.
