★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler Phase 4 (Minimal Wear)

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler Phase 4 (Minimal Wear) carries the same deep blue marbling over black, on a Covert ★ knife finish that's float-capped near mint. Minimal Wear is the lower of only two grades Phase 4 reaches, sitting just a touch below the top of that tight range.

Design

Black forms the base, with a blue marbled swirl spreading across most of the blade — one of the darker, more saturated looks in the Doppler lineup. The flavor line attached to it reads "Getting lost in its color can prove fatal."

★ M9 Bayonet | Doppler Phase 4 (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Because Doppler is capped between 0.00 and 0.08, Minimal Wear is as worn as this phase ever gets — nowhere near the visible scuffing a full-range knife shows at the same grade. The blue marbling and black base both still read clean, just a small step down from the Factory New copies. Minimal Wear covers about 0.07–0.08 on the float scale.

M9 Bayonet | Doppler Phase 4 Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★, the rare special ("knife") tier that outranks every ordinary weapon grade in a case. That scarcity comes from pulling the knife slot at all, not from which wear grade a given copy happens to land on.

M9 Bayonet | Doppler Phase 4 Case and Collection

No single collection houses this phase — it comes out of the Chroma Case, the Chroma 2 Case, and the Chroma 3 Case. The rare-special tier as a whole sits at about 0.26% per case opening, which is why most players buy the exact phase they want on the market rather than chase it through unboxing.

M9 Bayonet Doppler Phases

This copy is fixed to Phase 4 within the wider Doppler lineup. Ruby, Sapphire, and Black Pearl — the gem phases — command far more than any numbered phase, but Phase 4's heavy blue marbling is one of the two most in-demand numbered looks, alongside Phase 2's pink. Whatever phase a copy carries stays locked in for its whole life, wear grade included.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish is also available as a StatTrak™ knife, 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, whatever the phase.

M9 Bayonet | Doppler Phase 4 Price

Minimal Wear trades a step below Factory New on Phase 4's own ladder, making it the more accessible of the two grades while the phase overall still sits in the high-end tier for this knife — a thin market priced with the M9 Bayonet's rarer finishes. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How much does Minimal Wear differ from Factory New on this Doppler phase?

Barely at all visually — since the float tops out at 0.08, Minimal Wear still looks close to mint, just a small step below Factory New rather than a heavily worn grade. Price-wise it runs a notch below Factory New on the same phase.

Which M9 Bayonet Doppler phase is best?

The gem phases — Ruby, Sapphire, and Black Pearl — top the whole Doppler lineup and outprice every numbered phase. Among the numbered Phase 1-4 set, Phase 4's dark, saturated blue is one of the two most favored, alongside Phase 2. The phase is fixed per copy and doesn't change with wear or trades.

What are the best gloves for the M9 Bayonet Doppler Phase 4?

Given the deep blue-over-black finish, gloves in dark blue, navy, or black tones tie the loadout together cleanly. A cooler-toned pair reads as an intentional match rather than a clash against this phase's marbling. For the best M9 Bayonet Doppler Phase 4 glove combo, echo those tones rather than fighting them.
