Knife-Licensing Sensation Sweeps Counter-Strike

Posted by simoniker on from the inappropriate-use-of-fps-topic? dept.

Thanks to Shacknews for passing on the bizarre news that Valve's currently-beta Counter-Strike 1.6 release has an official knife license (PDF doc). An excerpt from the press release reads: "The new Counter-Strike knife is based on Mick Strider's award winning bowie. It is an integral design that started as a 1/2" thick slab of 6AL4V titanium. The edge is press-fit Stellite.. ..the handle is fossilized mastodon ivory." There's also a link to a an in-game screenshot of the knife, looking both sharp and shiny. We're looking forward to seeing how Valve can top this licensing masterpiece... suggestions?

    Hmmmmm maybe a licensed MP5! Last time i checked (and I did) it was hard to get a license for a class 3 firearm in my county. Not to mention finding a pre-ban mp5... If valve could help me with licensing... W00T!!!!
