★ Nomad Knife | Doppler Phase 2 (Factory New)

The ★ Nomad Knife | Doppler Phase 2 in Factory New (FN) is the pink Phase 2 of the Doppler finish on the Nomad Knife in CS2. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The knife comes from the Fever Case. In this wear the ★ Nomad Knife | Doppler Phase 2 is assigned floats 0.00 to 0.07. The float of the whole finish ends at 0.08, so there are only two wears, and the second is Minimal Wear (MW).

What the ★ Nomad Knife | Doppler Phase 2 looks like in Factory New

The blade is wide, with a curve toward the point. Lilac clouds and dark reddish-brown veins like branches run across a pink and crimson field. The handle is metal, silver, with a row of round holes. A black ribbed insert is set into it, and the edges of the scales are pink too. By Valve’s description, the knife is coated in black and silver metallic paint with a marbled effect, under a colored clear lacquer.

In Factory New the paint layer is untouched anywhere, on the spine or on the edge. The wear of a copy is determined at drop.

Where the ★ Nomad Knife | Doppler Phase 2 came from

Valve drew the Doppler finish itself. It appeared in the game on January 8, 2015, and is number 419 in the catalog. The Nomad Knife arrived on November 19, 2019, with Operation Shattered Web, when Valve added four new knives at once. Doppler on it is much newer. Valve introduced the Fever Case on March 31, 2025, and it holds the Shattered Web knives in Chroma finishes.

Phase and pattern

The phase sits in the item name, so Phase 2 is chosen on the page, and a case does not guarantee it. Doppler has four regular phases, numbered 1 to 4, and three gems: Ruby, Sapphire and Black Pearl. The gems are sold as separate items. Copies of the same Phase 2 are not identical either, since the pattern index shifts the placement and the ratio of colors on the blade.

What to check before buying

The choice of a particular ★ Nomad Knife | Doppler Phase 2 rests on these points:

• the phase in the listing title: gems and regular phases are separate items and differ in price several times over;


• the listing image: copies of one phase differ in pattern, and the blade is the easiest place to compare them;


• the name tag: a Nomad Knife can carry one, and it stays on the knife after purchase.

The band 0.00 to 0.07 on the ★ Nomad Knife | Doppler Phase 2 is tight, and the extreme listings differ only in the number.

What the ★ Nomad Knife | Doppler Phase 2 costs in Factory New

Minimal Wear costs noticeably more than the top wear. For a finish with such a short scale, that means price is moved by the phase and the listing itself rather than by wear.

Among the Nomad Knife phases, Phase 2 costs more than the other regular ones: Phases 1 and 3 about a fifth less, Phase 4 about a tenth less. Sapphire costs one and a half times as much as Phase 2, Black Pearl almost three times, and Ruby more than three times.

Of the Nomad Knife’s twenty-two finishes, only four cost more than Phase 2: Crimson Web, Sapphire, Black Pearl and Ruby. Urban Masked is a seventh lower, and Case Hardened a fifth. Safari Mesh and Boreal Forest cost about a third as much.

Getting the ★ Nomad Knife | Doppler Phase 2

This knife drops from the Fever Case, and the phase that comes out is random. There is also a trade-up contract: five Covert skins from one collection become one rare special item, and the contract picks the knife and the phase itself. The Phase 2 you want is bought as a finished listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

A StatTrak version of the ★ Nomad Knife | Doppler Phase 2 exists in the game.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ Nomad Knife | Doppler Phase 2 specifically in Factory New is reasonable when:

• you want a pink phase without paying extra for a gem;


• your CS2 loadout is built on pink, and the silver handle of the Nomad Knife does not fight with the blade;


• an untouched edge matters, and you pick a particular copy by its picture.
