Butterfly Knife | Doppler

Origin Story

The Butterfly Knife | Doppler captivates with its finish, which uses black and silver metallic paints applied with a marbleizing medium, then candy coated. Its appearance is further enhanced by the "Getting lost in its color can prove fatal" flavor text. This skin was introduced on March 16, 2017, as part of the "Take a trip to the Canals" update. The Doppler finish is known for its vibrant, shifting colors, which often vary across different phases of the pattern.

Drop Chance

Butterfly 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.

Sticker Compatibility

The Butterfly Knife | Doppler, with its anodized finish, does not typically serve as a primary canvas for sticker crafts due to its inherent visual complexity. The finish itself is the focal point, making additional sticker embellishments less common.
