Which Gloves Go With a Doppler Knife: Pairs for Every Phase

First, figure out the phase

The same Doppler knife can be almost black, pink, blue or green — it depends on the phase:

• Phase 1 — black with dark purple and blue.
• Phase 2 — the brightest: pink and purple.
• Phase 3 — blue-green, teal.
• Phase 4 — deep blue with purple.
• Ruby, Sapphire, Black Pearl — the gems: solid red, solid blue and dark pearl. They cost many times more than regular phases.

The main rule: Doppler is glossy and bright, so pick gloves in clean colors too, without muddy camo. Doppler only comes in Factory New and Minimal Wear, while gloves can be Field-Tested — the difference is barely visible in game but huge in price.

Phase 2: pink and purple

The most popular phase, with the most matching pairs.

• Hand Wraps | Overprint — pink with blue, the most affordable pair: $77.8 in Field-Tested.
• Specialist Gloves | Fade — the same gradient as the Fade knife: pink, purple and yellow. $155.
• Sport Gloves | Vice — pink with light blue, the classic Phase 2 pair: from $229.
• Sport Gloves | Ultra Violent — purple-pink, for expensive sets: from $528.

Phase 1 and Black Pearl: dark

A dark knife with a purple sheen looks best with black-and-purple gloves.

• Driver Gloves | Plum Quill — plum, calm and expensive-looking: $91.4.
• Sport Gloves | Violet Beadwork — $207.
