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?

    Yeah, and it's not the same knife as the one in the PDF. (the one the guy is holding looks like a kitchen knife to me.)

    This seems like a perverse attempt at a joke to me.
