Knife-Licensing Sensation Sweeps Counter-Strike

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?

I look at the picture, and it's some bad photograph of some twit holding a knife over his shoulder. I can't see any detail, and it certainly doesn't look like counterstrike. Unless you're supposed to hold this thing while playing counterstrike or something?
