League of LegendsGut Knife Doppler phases
The Doppler has 7 versions, each with its own paint index: Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 and Phase 4, plus Ruby, Sapphire and Black Pearl. Right now Phase 2 is the priciest numbered phase in Factory New and Phase 4 the cheapest. Valve doesn't publish phase odds, so the phase is only visible on the knife itself or on a phase-tagged listing.

Rare Gut Knife Doppler patterns
Within a phase, the pattern seed decides how much of the blade shows the phase's best color. Collectors pay extra for the strongest examples: mostly-pink Phase 2s, mostly-blue Phase 4s and dark Phase 1s.
| Phase | Premium patterns | What collectors look for |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Dark seeds | A near-black playside that resembles a Black Pearl |
| Phase 2 | Max Pink seeds | Pink and purple across the blade, with little black |
| Phase 3 | Green and blue seeds | A strong green tone across the blade |
| Phase 4 | Max Blue seeds | Mostly blue, close to a Sapphire look |
Gut Knife Doppler float and wear
The ★ Gut Knife | Doppler's float runs from 0.00 to 0.08, which covers Factory New and Minimal Wear. Within such a narrow range the wear difference is barely visible, so phase and pattern matter far more than float.

About the Gut Knife Doppler
The ★ Gut Knife | Doppler was added in January 2015.
“The most notable feature of a gut knife is the gut hook on the spine of the blade. Originally popularized as an aid for field dressing game, the gut hook is also effective at cutting through fibrous materials like rope, webbing, or safety belts with ease. It has been painted with black and silver metallic paints using a marbleizing medium, then candy coated.”
