★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler Ruby (Factory New)

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler Ruby (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish, a pure, deep translucent red chrome with no black mixed in. Factory New is as clean as this finish gets, and it's where that red reads at its deepest.

Design

Doppler Ruby skips any marbling or secondary tones — it's a single, saturated translucent red chrome coat over the blade, with no black creeping into the finish anywhere. It carries the flavor line "Getting lost in its color can prove fatal," which fits a phase built entirely around one intense hue.

★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler Ruby (Factory New) Float and Wear

Doppler is float-capped between 0.00 and 0.08, so Factory New and Minimal Wear are the only grades that exist — this phase never ages past a near-mint look regardless of the copy. At Factory New the float sits right at the bottom of that range, giving the red chrome its clearest, most even shine. On the float scale, Factory New spans 0.00–0.07.

M9 Bayonet Doppler Ruby Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — this sits above ordinary Covert weapon skins as the gold-tier rare special, the "knife" slot in a case. Landing one at all is the scarce part, before wear even factors in.

M9 Bayonet Doppler Ruby Case and Collection

There's no single collection behind this finish — it comes out of the Chroma Case, Chroma 2 Case, and Chroma 3 Case. The rare-special ("knife") tier as a whole pulls at roughly 0.26% per case opening, so most buyers grab a Ruby on the market instead of chasing one from a box.

M9 Bayonet Doppler Phases

Doppler ships in several fixed phases, and Ruby is one of the three "gem" phases alongside Sapphire (blue) and Black Pearl (iridescent) — those three sit above the numbered Phase 1-4 in both rarity and price, with the most saturated numbered phases (pink Phase 2, blue Phase 4) trailing behind them. Whichever phase a copy generates as, it stays that way for good; wear never changes it.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists and tracks confirmed kills permanently, carrying that count through any trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version — knives are never included in Major-tournament souvenir packages, whatever the case or phase.

M9 Bayonet Doppler Ruby Price

Factory New sits at the top of Ruby's own price ladder, ahead of Minimal Wear, and the phase itself is grail-tier — among the priciest finishes this knife offers, right alongside Sapphire and Black Pearl. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What case is the M9 Bayonet Doppler Ruby in?

It isn't tied to one box — Doppler drops from the Chroma Case, Chroma 2 Case, and Chroma 3 Case, and which phase a given copy generates as is random. That spread is why most Ruby buyers pick one up on the market rather than opening cases hoping to land the gem phase.

Which Doppler phase is best on the M9 Bayonet?

The three gem phases — Ruby, Sapphire, and Black Pearl — sit above the numbered Phase 1-4 in rarity and price, with Ruby's solid red chrome among the most sought after. Among the numbered phases, the most saturated ones (pink Phase 2, blue Phase 4) get picked over the rest, but nothing beats a gem phase.

Does the M9 Bayonet Doppler Ruby have StatTrak?

Yes, a StatTrak™ version exists with a permanent confirmed-kill counter that follows the knife through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir version, since knives are simply never part of Major-tournament souvenir packages.
