About ★ Bayonet | Doppler
The ★ Bayonet | Doppler in Factory New is the phase-driven Doppler finish on the original Bayonet model at FN — the same four-phase mechanic as on other Doppler knives (Phase 1-4 plus rare Black Pearl) applied to the broad-blade Bayonet silhouette that predates the M9 in CS:GO knife history.
Phase mechanics on Bayonet Doppler
The phase hierarchy on Bayonet Doppler follows the standard Doppler model: Phase 1 with deep blue, Phase 2 with black-contrast layering, Phase 3 with purple-magenta cuts, Phase 4 as the high-purple variant, and Black Pearl at the rare apex with iridescent-on-black aesthetic. Phase determination is the first price filter — the seed number on the inspect text identifies the phase, and trader-community lookups maintain Bayonet-specific phase identification guides. The Bayonet's broad blade surfaces the phase identity across the full play face during inspect.
Why FN matters on Bayonet Doppler
Doppler has no fine illustration to lose, but FN preserves the phase saturation at peak intensity and keeps the substrate clean of any wear-related visual degradation. For high-tier phase chases (Phase 4 high-purple, Black Pearl), FN is the canonical buy tier — the phase value driver pairs with the cleanest visual reading the wear-tier ladder offers. The Bayonet silhouette positioning within the original ★ knife families keeps the price tier supported across phases.
