Doppler is a marbled finish, and this is its first numbered variant: the blade is near black at the guard and warms through violet to a dull magenta towards the point, the swirls soft enough that the pattern reads as staining rather than as painting. The guard and pommel are dark grey, the hands are the game’s own black fingerless gloves, and the ring on the guard is the part by which a bayonet slides onto a rifle barrel.

The view model holds 3,406 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 38 bones, under five textures: the three stock hand maps, one 512×512 file for the whole knife, and a 64×64 chrome map for the mirrored sheen GoldSrc fakes on metal. The idle runs 150 frames and the draw 28. The archive is the view model alone, with no sounds beside it, so in other players’ hands and on the ground the knife stays standard.
