★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler Black Pearl (Factory New)

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler Black Pearl (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish, a dark, near-black steel base shot through with iridescent multicolor swirls. Factory New covers the 0.00–0.07 band of the float scale, the cleanest grade available, and it's where those swirls catch the light most clearly.

Design

Black Pearl trades the solid single-color look of the other Doppler phases for a near-black steel base with iridescent color flickering across the surface as light hits it. It carries the flavor line "Getting lost in its color can prove fatal," which fits its shifting, almost hypnotic surface.

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

Doppler is float-capped between 0.00 and 0.08, so Black Pearl only ever exists as Factory New or Minimal Wear — it never ages past a near-mint look. At Factory New the float sits at the very bottom of that range, keeping the iridescent swirl at its clearest and most reflective. Factory New covers about 0.00–0.07 on the float scale.

M9 Bayonet Doppler Black Pearl Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — the gold-tier rare-special ("knife") slot that outranks every regular Covert weapon skin in a case. Getting one at all is the scarce part, long before wear enters the picture.

M9 Bayonet Doppler Black Pearl Case and Collection

This finish isn't tied to one collection — it comes from the Chroma Case, Chroma 2 Case, and Chroma 3 Case. The rare-special tier as a whole lands around 0.26% per case opening, so most Black Pearl copies are bought on the market rather than pulled fresh.

M9 Bayonet Doppler Phases

Doppler always generates as one fixed phase, and Black Pearl is one of the three "gem" phases alongside Ruby (red) and Sapphire (blue) — 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 rolls stays that way permanently, regardless of wear.

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.

M9 Bayonet Doppler Black Pearl Price

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

FAQ

What case is the M9 Bayonet Doppler Black Pearl in?

It isn't limited to one box — Doppler drops from the Chroma Case, Chroma 2 Case, and Chroma 3 Case, and the phase is assigned randomly. That's why most buyers looking specifically for Black Pearl just buy the finish outright rather than gambling on cases.

Why is Black Pearl one of the best Doppler phases on the M9 Bayonet?

Black Pearl is one of the three gem phases, along with Ruby and Sapphire, that all sit above the numbered Phase 1-4 in rarity and price. Its near-black steel with iridescent swirls stands apart visually from the solid-color gem phases, and once a copy generates as Black Pearl, that's permanent regardless of wear.

Does the M9 Bayonet Doppler Black Pearl 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 simply never appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages.
