★ Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 2 (Minimal Wear)

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 2 (Minimal Wear, MW) is a Covert ★ knife finish carrying the brighter green marbling that sets this phase apart from the rest of the Gamma Doppler line. Minimal Wear is the only other grade this finish reaches, sitting a step above its cleanest end. Most players just call it the butterfly gamma doppler phase 2 — or simply the butterfly phase 2.

Design

Every Gamma Doppler copy generates its own marble swirl, and Phase 2 reads noticeably brighter green than the more muted Phase 1, though it stays behind Emerald's solid, uninterrupted coat. On a butterfly that pattern gets room to show, since the blade swings clear of the handles on every open.

★ Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 2 (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Gamma Doppler is float-capped at 0.08, so Minimal Wear is as worn as a Phase 2 copy ever gets — far milder than that float would mean on a full-range knife. This grade covers roughly 0.07–0.08 on the scale, one step past Factory New (FN), so the bright green keeps close to its full intensity.

Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 2 Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — the gold-tier rare special ("knife") slot, not an ordinary Covert weapon skin. Pulling one at all is the scarce part, well before a specific phase or wear grade enters the picture.

Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 2 Case and Collection

This phase drops from the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case, the two boxes carrying this knife's Gamma Doppler line. The rare-special ("knife") tier as a whole lands around 0.26% per case opening, so most buyers pick up Phase 2 on the market rather than gambling on a fresh unbox.

Butterfly Knife Gamma Doppler Phases

Gamma Doppler splits into five phases, and this copy is fixed as Phase 2 for good — the phase never changes with wear or trading. Emerald, the solid-green finish with no black, remains the grail of the line and sits far above the numbered Phase 1-4 set in price. Among those numbered phases, the greenest and cleanest examples draw the most demand, and Phase 2's brighter green is one of the more favored shades.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists and permanently tracks confirmed kills through any trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version at all — knives never appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of case or phase.

Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 2 Price

Minimal Wear sits below Factory New on this phase's own price ladder, which makes it the cheaper of the only two grades the finish comes in — and the gap is narrow, since the float cap keeps both looking close to mint. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees. Prices for the phase 2 butterfly track the exterior, the float and whether the copy carries StatTrak™, so check the live number on this page.

FAQ

What case is the Butterfly Knife Gamma Doppler Phase 2 in?

It comes from the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case, the two boxes that carry this knife's Gamma Doppler line. Since the rare-special tier only lands around 0.26% of the time, most buyers pick up a specific phase on the market rather than opening cases hoping for one.

Is Minimal Wear worth it on the Butterfly Knife Gamma Doppler Phase 2?

Yes, for most buyers. The finish caps at 0.08 float, so Minimal Wear never shows the scuffing that grade implies on an ordinary knife — the bright green marbling stays nearly as sharp as it does at Factory New, and it is the cheaper of the two grades that exist.

Does the Butterfly Knife Gamma Doppler Phase 2 have StatTrak?

Yes, a StatTrak™ version exists with a permanent confirmed-kill counter that carries through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir version, though — knives are simply never included in Major-tournament souvenir packages, no matter the phase or case.
