Ruby is the top-tier outcome of the Doppler process: instead of the usual marbled blacks and blues, the candy coat over the metallic base comes out a saturated, glassy red across the whole Talon blade. The ivory-handled karambit shape with its saw-tooth spine makes the deep red stand out even more, which is why this is one of the most sought knife finishes.
