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?

Boy, I never was very interested in Counter Strike before... I mean, the game looked okay, and sounded fun and all, but it was just missing that certain something. And now I know what it was! An official knife license! If only Daikatana had this knife, maybe it would have been the success that CS is sure to be! This will obviously make the game much, much more fun, and sales are sure to go through the roof now!
