Karambit Gamma Doppler phases
The Gamma Doppler has 5 versions, each with its own paint index: Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 and Phase 4, plus Emerald. 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.

About the Karambit Gamma Doppler
The ★ Karambit | Gamma Doppler was added in June 2016.
“With its curved blade mimicking a tiger's claw, the karambit was developed as part of the southeast Asian martial discipline of silat. The knife is typically used with a reverse grip, with the finger ring on the index finger. It has been painted with black and silver metallic paints using a marbleizing medium, then candy coated.”
