Two things change the look
Most Fade and Doppler knives only exist in the two cleanest exteriors. This one is different: the range is 0–1, so it can also be heavily worn. That means two separate factors shape a copy. The pattern number decides where the blue, gold and purple areas fall on the blade, and the float decides how worn the surface looks. On a Battle‑Scarred copy the colours are darker and patchier and the edges look rough, while Factory New is smooth and reflective.
Comparing copies
Because both factors matter, screenshots of this knife vary enormously. When you compare two copies, look at the colour layout first, then at the wear. We don't publish lists of special patterns or claim that any one is better than another; the patterns guide explains what the pattern does and how to compare honestly. The finger ring and parts of the guard carry the finish too, so check them as well as the blade.
