★ Falchion Knife | Doppler Phase 3 (Factory New)

In CS2 the ★ Falchion Knife | Doppler Phase 3 (Factory New) has a blade the color of deep indigo, with black and dark turquoise clouds. It is Covert rank, with the ★ mark, and the knife drops from the Spectrum Case and the Spectrum 2 Case. There are only two wears: the float of the finish reaches 0.08, and the scale does not continue past Minimal Wear (MW).

What the ★ Falchion Knife | Doppler Phase 3 looks like in Factory New

The curved blade of the falchion is covered in blue-violet lacquer, and black and dark turquoise clouds spread across it. There is no red or pink on the blade. A silver plate on the handle is held by pins, and the handle itself echoes the color of the blade.

In Factory New the lacquer is intact across the whole flat, edge included. A copy takes its wear at the drop and does not change afterward. The wear's scale runs from 0.00 to 0.07 and takes almost the whole range of the finish.

Where the ★ Falchion Knife | Doppler Phase 3 came from

The falchion entered the game on May 26, 2015: Valve introduced it in Operation Bloodhound as a new knife in the family, together with the Falchion Case. The Doppler finish on this model comes from the Spectrum Case and the Spectrum 2 Case. The first of those cases, Spectrum, was released on March 15, 2017.

Phase and pattern

Doppler comes in phases, and the phase sits in the item name, so Phase 3 is chosen at purchase and not drawn from a case. Four phases, 1 to 4, are regular. Ruby, Sapphire and Black Pearl count as gems, the name for the rare variants of Doppler, and all three exist on the falchion.

Among the regular phases, Phase 3 costs the same as Phase 4 and a little more than Phase 1. Ruby costs noticeably more than the regular phases.

What to check before buying

When choosing a listing for the ★ Falchion Knife | Doppler Phase 3, these points matter:

• the phase in the listing name: gems and regular phases are listed apart and are hard to tell apart in a preview;


• an applied name: a falchion can be given a name tag, and it stays on the knife after purchase;


• float: the scale of this wear lies between 0.00 and 0.07, and within such a spread there is nothing to choose by float.

What the ★ Falchion Knife | Doppler Phase 3 costs in Factory New

The order of the wears is reversed for this finish: Minimal Wear costs more than Factory New, and the difference is noticeable.

Among Covert falchion finishes, Doppler Phase 3 sits above the middle of the lineup. Night is about ten percent higher, Doppler Phase 1 six percent lower, Ultraviolet thirteen and Slaughter twenty. The cheapest finishes on the model, Bright Water, Freehand and Black Laminate, cost several times less. Above it stand Gamma Doppler Emerald, Doppler Ruby and Crimson Web.

Getting the ★ Falchion Knife | Doppler Phase 3

The ★ Falchion Knife | Doppler Phase 3 drops from the Spectrum Case and the Spectrum 2 Case, and the phase comes out random when the case is opened. The contract also leads to a rare special item: five Covert skins from one collection go in, but the model and the phase of the result cannot be set. To get a specific phase, buy a listed copy.

Is there a StatTrak version

A StatTrak version of the ★ Falchion Knife | Doppler Phase 3 exists in the game.

Who this wear suits

The ★ Falchion Knife | Doppler Phase 3 in Factory New makes sense in three cases:

• you want a blue blade without red patches, and Phase 3 fits the color;


• in CS2 the falchion provides the main accent in a loadout of dark blue and violet;


• you need a regular Doppler phase, and a gem is beyond the budget.
