New Knife Skin Collection: Phase Patterns Revealed

The fresh knife collection ships with seven base finishes, but pattern hunters have already found that two of them — Doppler-style finishes — split into multiple phase patterns. The community has tagged them: Phase Standard, Phase Onyx (deep black with metallic veining), and the rarest Phase Aurora (gradient teal-to-magenta).

Early Skinport listings show Phase Aurora examples of the new Karambit going for 5–6× the base finish price. Phase Onyx sits at roughly 2.5× premium. Valve has not commented on phase rarity weights, but data miners pulled drop tables suggesting Phase Aurora is ~1 in 600 unboxes.

The new collection drops alongside this season's case rotation; older Doppler families (Karambit Doppler, M9 Doppler) remain unaffected.
