★ Gut Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 1 (Minimal Wear)

The ★ Gut Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 1 (Minimal Wear) is a Covert ★ knife finish built from a green-and-black marbled swirl across the blade. Minimal Wear is the lower of only two grades this finish reaches, still landing close to the top of its narrow float range.

Design

The marbling mixes green and black with no fixed layout, so coverage varies some from copy to copy. It's one of the four numbered Gamma Doppler phases, distinct from the solid-color gem finishes above it.

★ Gut Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 1 (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Because the finish is capped between 0.00 and 0.08, Minimal Wear is as worn as a Gamma Doppler Phase 1 Gut Knife ever gets — a full-range skin at this float would already look rough, but here the blade 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.

Gut Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 1 Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★, the rare special ("knife") tier that stands above every regular weapon grade in a case. That tier is scarce on its own, independent of which wear a given copy happens to land on.

Gut Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 1 Case and Collection

Rather than one collection, this finish comes out of the Gamma Case and Gamma 2 Case. Across the board, the rare-special tier pulls at about 0.26% per case, which is why most copies change hands on the market instead of coming from a fresh unbox.

Gut Knife Gamma Doppler Phases

Of the five Gamma Doppler phases, this is a fixed Phase 1 copy. Emerald's solid green sits well above the numbered Phase 1-4 group in price, and within that numbered group the greenest, cleanest-looking pieces get favored. The phase never shifts once the skin is generated, wear or no wear.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This knife is also available as a StatTrak™ version, adding a kill counter that sticks with the item permanently through every trade or sale. Souvenir versions were never made for it — knives simply don't appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of finish.

Gut Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 1 Price

Minimal Wear runs a step below Factory New on this finish's price ladder, making it the more accessible of the two grades while still sitting in the high-end bracket among this knife's finishes as a whole. Phase and market thinness move the price more than the wear grade does. 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 this Gamma Doppler?

Not really. Since the finish is capped at a 0.08 float, Minimal Wear still sits well inside near-mint territory — it's a modest step down, not a visibly worn skin. The green-and-black marbling looks close to identical to a Factory New copy.

Does the Gut Knife Gamma Doppler Phase 1 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, though — knives are simply never part of Major-tournament souvenir packages, no matter the finish or case.

Is Phase 1 the cheapest Gamma Doppler phase?

Among the numbered Phase 1-4 group, the greenest and cleanest-looking copies tend to command the strongest interest, so a Phase 1 with heavier black marbling can sit toward the more accessible end of that group — though none of the numbered phases approach Emerald's grail-tier pricing.
