So... what's Snake doing with a katana on the left? I thought he said he didn't like blades.

maybe it's because he gived a katana to raiden in MGS2

That's MGS2 Son's of Liberty where he passes the sword to Raiden in the ending.

Epic image!

The sneaking suit and short hair resembles more of MGS1 Snake.

He doesn't use them. But he could be keeping Grey Fox's blade until he gives it to Raiden?
There's nothing I know that indicates this, but it would feel typical of Kojima that Raiden would use Grey Fox's sword.

Near the end of MGS the twin snakes,Snake holds grey fox's sword like that.

Cough MGS1 you mean

yeah that looks a lot like MGS1 Snake and Olga's high frequency blade doesn't look like that

Same game.

I only remember him holding it in TS; he was stabbing it into the floor making a sort-of pseudo-grave for Frank...
it was one of the many added Ryuuhei scenes...
(you can actually see the severed power cord on the handle in this picture here)

just sayin' but snake doesn't use the thermal vest part of his sneaking suit during metal gear solid 2. could argue that this image is only mgs1 and mgs4
