Weapon model not being drawn (only in our servers?)

[+MrDongles 214]

I was just chatting with someone in the France Gorge [Fast Spawn] server and they asked why the model for their killstreak festive knife was not appearing. They claimed that this issue was only on Lotus servers. While this isn't game breaking/ruining as the knife still works properly, it is just invisible, is this something mendable on our side of things? Or is it just a valve "feature" that gets sprinkled in to random places? I'm not sure if any other models are not drawn. 

 

Here is a picture if I make no sense:

 

There is suppose to a be a killstreak festive knife there. Pay no attention to the ambassador item box.

I still see this happening, and it's not limited to knives. I imagine it has something to do with all the skins being added into the game.
