Doppler knife prices in CS2 range from about $120 to over $2,000 for the same paint, and the knife type is what sets most of that gap. We pulled the cheapest Doppler and Gamma Doppler listing for every knife type on 15 October 2026, using the lowest price across Skinport, Pricempire and market.csgo.com.
One thing to know first: market listings do not name the phase. The cheapest listing is almost always one of the common phases (1 to 4). Ruby, Sapphire, Black Pearl and the Gamma Doppler Emerald sell for far more, which our Doppler phase guide covers.

Doppler or Gamma Doppler?
The two finishes do not price the same way across knives:
| Knife | Doppler | Gamma Doppler | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shadow Daggers | $125.31 | $92.83 | Gamma 26% cheaper |
| Bowie Knife | $244.00 | $182.00 | Gamma 25% cheaper |
| Huntsman Knife | $276.94 | $206.18 | Gamma 26% cheaper |
| Falchion Knife | $324.88 | $192.27 | Gamma 41% cheaper |
| Butterfly Knife | $2,055.75 | $1,700.00 | Gamma 17% cheaper |
| Gut Knife | $120.47 | $149.50 | Gamma 24% dearer |
| Flip Knife | $294.58 | $395.59 | Gamma 34% dearer |
| Bayonet | $379.23 | $476.66 | Gamma 26% dearer |
| M9 Bayonet | $828.46 | $1,165.31 | Gamma 41% dearer |
| Karambit | $1,272.56 | $1,659.00 | Gamma 30% dearer |
The split follows the cases. On the five knives from the Spectrum and Dreams & Nightmares families, the Gamma Doppler is the cheaper one. On the five original knives from the Chroma and Gamma Cases, the Gamma Doppler costs more. If you like the green look on a Butterfly or Falchion, it is the cheaper way to a Doppler-style blade.
Factory New is usually cheaper than Minimal Wear
Doppler knives only exist between 0.00 and 0.08 float. Factory New covers 0.00 to 0.07, so Minimal Wear is the thin slice from 0.07 to 0.08. On our snapshot, the cheapest Minimal Wear listing was higher than the cheapest Factory New one for 25 of the 28 knives, often by $50 to $150. With so few Minimal Wear copies on the market there are fewer cheap listings, and the two wears look almost the same.
The three exceptions were the Stiletto, Talon and Butterfly Dopplers, where the Minimal Wear listing was the cheaper one. Check both wears before buying.
Unboxing a Doppler
A Doppler is part of the gold pool, so it shares the 0.26% knife chance. In the Fever Case, 4 of the 28 gold items are Dopplers, which makes any Doppler about one in 2,692 openings, or about $8,300 at $3.09 per opening. A particular Doppler knife there is about one in 10,769. Our knife unboxing cost breakdown shows why buying is the cheaper route for every knife.
