★ Skeleton Knife | Doppler Sapphire (Factory New)

This is the ★ Skeleton Knife | Doppler Sapphire in Factory New (FN), spanning 0.00 to 0.07 of the scale. The Covert knife with the ★ mark drops in CS2 from the Fever Case. The finish has just two wears, because the scale breaks off at 0.08.

What the ★ Skeleton Knife | Doppler Sapphire looks like in Factory New

The blade is narrow and double-edged, painted a thick sapphire blue. Violet and pale lilac swirls run across it, and the color deepens toward the tip. The round hole by the handle is left unpainted, and the blade has three small holes in a row. The handle is black and wrapped in cord, with blue stitching visible between the turns. Valve writes that the handle is wrapped for a secure grip.

The band here is 0.00 to 0.07, which is tight, and the extreme listings differ only by the number. Wear is fixed at the drop, and the blue lacquer on the blade stays untouched.

Where the ★ Skeleton Knife | Doppler Sapphire came from

The Skeleton Knife in Doppler lies in the Fever Case. Valve named the case in the notes for the Counter-Strike 2 update of March 31, 2025.

Phase and pattern

With Doppler the design is left to chance, and the phase sits in the item name. Valve lists seven variants: Phases 1 to 4, Ruby, Sapphire and Black Pearl. Doppler has no Emerald, which is a Gamma Doppler phase. On this page the Sapphire is chosen in advance, while the case hands out any phase when opened.

On the Skeleton Knife the Sapphire costs more than the regular phases: Phase 2 is about 59 percent of it, Phase 4 55, Phase 1 51 and Phase 3 50. Ruby costs more than three times as much as the Sapphire.

What to check before buying

When choosing the ★ Skeleton Knife | Doppler Sapphire, compare these points:

• the phase in the listing title: Sapphire, not Ruby, Black Pearl or Phases 1 to 4;


• the float: the 0.00 to 0.07 band is narrow, and the number makes no visible difference;


• the name tag: the knife takes a name, and the Skeleton Knife has no stickers.

What the ★ Skeleton Knife | Doppler Sapphire costs in Factory New

In Factory New the phase sets the price, not the wear: Minimal Wear (MW) takes one hundredth of the scale on this finish, 0.07 to 0.08.

Among Covert Skeleton Knives, the Sapphire stands near the top: nineteen finishes cost less and two cost more. Above it are Crimson Web (by 31 percent) and Ruby. Below are all four regular phases, the nearest being Phase 2, about 40 percent cheaper.

Getting the ★ Skeleton Knife | Doppler Sapphire

The Fever Case gives the Skeleton Knife in Doppler as a rare special item, together with a random phase. The second route is a craft. Five Covert skins of one type become a ★ item from the collections of the inputs, and you do not pick the model or phase. The Sapphire you want is bought as a ready listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

A StatTrak version of the ★ Skeleton Knife | Doppler Sapphire exists in the game.

Who this wear suits

The ★ Skeleton Knife | Doppler Sapphire in Factory New is justified in these cases:

• you want a Doppler gem on a Skeleton Knife, but not at the level of Ruby;


• a blue blade with a violet cast and a black handle suit your CS2 loadout;


• the regular phases seem too plain, and you want the knife without scuffs.
