Survival Knife | Doppler

Origin Story

The Survival Knife | Doppler was released on April 3, 2025, as part of the Spring Forward update. Its design features black and silver metallic paints applied with a marbleizing medium, then finished with a candy coating. This process results in a glossy, patterned appearance that gives the knife a distinctive look. The in-game flavor text, "Getting lost in its color can prove fatal," hints at the captivating visual depth of its finish.

Survival Knife | Doppler is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.
