BlackBerry Storm vs. knife blade... Fight!

Some things are best tested by others. Say, for example, the guy who first drank from a cow's mammary organ or the equally daring person who took the point from the knife above to the display of his new BlackBerry Storm. In either case, the results are tasty. See for yourself in the video after the break.

[Thanks, Mike]

Yes, Benchmade ftw!

[Eddie @ Dec 4th 2008 4:08AM]

I too saw the Benchmade. Currently carrying a Griptilian on a daily basis.

[iEye @ Dec 4th 2008 7:30AM]

Is that the StagHorn?

[superhobo @ Dec 4th 2008 7:38AM]

Very reinsuring...

[MW @ Dec 4th 2008 8:40AM]

Yes, I love my Stryker, such a lovely knife.

[Kate @ Dec 4th 2008 9:15AM]

I carry something similar every day, but it's a Kershaw.

[MMalecky @ Dec 4th 2008 9:44AM]

Second on Kershaw.
Leek 1660CKT.

[DudeManDude @ Dec 4th 2008 11:14AM]

mines almost exactly like the one pictured!!! Benchmade FTW!! I currently carry an automatic, had it since 99' so I don't remember the model name, but it's the Elishewitz made/designed one. Never had a single problem. Just keep it clean for quick spring action. Benchmade's rule.

[Joshua S. @ Dec 4th 2008 11:18AM]

Just FYI the reason it doesn't scratch is that it's made of tempered glass; that being said if you manage to get sand or similarly sized grains in your pocket the will scratch it fairly easy.

[Thanatos @ Dec 4th 2008 12:19PM]

I carry a Kershaw Vapor is with me everyday. Would like to get a non serrated with at tanto style blade though.

[balls @ Dec 4th 2008 1:59PM]

my edc is a mini-presidio

[87325is @ Dec 4th 2008 2:58PM]

Benchmade but be good but Microtech is superior to that. Not even close.

[Brian @ Dec 4th 2008 9:17PM]

I saw the benchmade and came here to mention it's maker...so much for being first

[I LOVE THE CAPS LOCK KEY @ Dec 5th 2008 12:22AM]

That's a Benchmade (Auto Stryker) and that particular one is commonly issued to US special (Commando) forces.

[tekkitan @ Dec 4th 2008 4:08AM]

Is anyone else disappointed that he didn't plunge the knife into the phone? I was all excited...

[f3rg @ Dec 4th 2008 5:14AM]

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was hoping for.

[joshc @ Dec 4th 2008 6:23AM]

lol yeah I was thinking that it could have saved your life in a knife fight, you may have your knife but somewhere on my body I have a blackberry.


but any hows thats pritty cool that it can shrug of being scratched from a knife, wonder how long it can take being scratced for when in your pocket and if you can replace the screen.

[B3astofthe3ast @ Dec 4th 2008 4:09AM]

Does this mean it won't blend?

[James @ Dec 4th 2008 5:18AM]

iPhone blended just fine so i dont see why not.

[Ghen @ Dec 4th 2008 7:18AM]

everything blends. Except chuck norris. Welcome to 2007

[Hold McGroin @ Dec 4th 2008 12:11PM]

Chuck Norris? Nice worn-out Internet meme that hasn't been funny since 2005 and wasn't original or funny then either. It also wasn't funny when it was Van Damme. It was funny when it was, originally, Vin Diesel but only for a minute or two. People seem to like really tired jokes, I guess.

hurrr, Chuck Norris is really tough, hurrr!!!!11!!

[Samboini @ Dec 4th 2008 1:00PM]

Because Hold McGroin is funny and hilarious too.

[Matt @ Dec 4th 2008 4:20PM]

Originally Vin Diesel, that's a laugh. The [enter celebrity name] facts were all based on the SNL sketch about Bill Brasky, which was based on tall tales like Paul Bunyan and Davy Crockett.

[Jon Nelson @ Dec 4th 2008 4:19AM]

Uh

Less talking, more knifing.

[Joseph @ Dec 4th 2008 6:41PM]

is this an obscure futurama quote?

[idiot @ Dec 4th 2008 6:48PM]

that would be less talking more THE CLAMPS!

[Patriks7 @ Dec 4th 2008 4:23AM]

Nothing to post today I guess?..

[sdk @ Dec 4th 2008 4:23AM]

i am very dissapointed, i could have scratched that thing. he barely seemed like he put any pressure on it at all.

[Chris @ Dec 4th 2008 4:26AM]

This video was like "Death Proof" from Quentin Tarantino. I was pretty excited to see it, but then it started and there was just way too much talking and not enough destruction.

[ad banger @ Dec 4th 2008 4:27AM]

bad pseudo viral marketing.

[Lev @ Dec 4th 2008 4:28AM]

you should have seen the scratches that the storm put into the knife... much more impressive

[AlDeezy @ Dec 4th 2008 4:30AM]

Yaaaaaay! but really don't care. so why did I post you say? I have my reasons. why did I just answer my question, because I'm a ....

[Ryback @ Dec 4th 2008 4:43AM]

Is it a safe upgrade from a Razr? Will it take a bullet for me?

[DBrim @ Dec 4th 2008 8:36AM]

It doesn't take a bullet. A bullet takes it.

[JOCOMAN @ Dec 4th 2008 4:50AM]

LOOK OUT !!!! he's got a knife! Someone should have told that boy not to bring a knife to a gun fight. ;)

[Omari Jay @ Dec 5th 2008 8:02AM]

I don't thnk he was honestly scratching the screen to his best abiltites. RIM fan boy ? :]

[SNP @ Dec 4th 2008 5:00AM]

He talks too much...

[fortunado @ Dec 4th 2008 5:14AM]

yes he drones on and on. This whole video should have taken about 2 minutes.

[onepinksheep @ Dec 4th 2008 5:10AM]

I came here looking for carnage... I left disappointed.

[BigBloke @ Dec 4th 2008 5:13AM]

Talk about conducting a Benchmark Test. Somebody should explain it to him..

[michael @ Dec 4th 2008 5:26AM]

Why are people impressed with this? It's glass, of course it won't scratch. It would take a lot more to scratch it than just a knife or some keys and at that point, you'll encounter the bigger problem with glass screens when it breaks.

[Penguin Warlord @ Dec 4th 2008 9:37AM]

Because the majority of cell phone and ipod screens do scratch.
Not everyone is an iphone toting cynic.

[michael @ Dec 4th 2008 2:16PM]

Though I do appreciate the snap judgement, my point wasn't to boast the iPhone's obvious superiority (or something) but to point out that we've known about the scratchproof qualities of glass for, I don't know, hundreds of years now? Yet it's become this wonder material for cellphone screens, but, you know, it's glass. Big deal.

[Adil @ Dec 4th 2008 5:53AM]

some people care because apparently some didn't believe that the storm's screen was glass, even though it was listed in the specs or whatever as being glass.

[Chris @ Dec 4th 2008 5:56AM]

That's not a knife... THIS is a knife

*pulls out spoon*

[EricC @ Dec 4th 2008 7:10AM]

I see you've played knifey spoony before.

[PyRo1509 @ Dec 4th 2008 6:34AM]

is this round 2...
?
did iPhone lose?

[MarbleMind @ Dec 4th 2008 7:15AM]

The BlackBerry Storm. Only Chuck Norris can scratch it.

[wrabbit @ Dec 4th 2008 7:21AM]

For a real scratch test what you need to do is take a handful of sand and put it in a small sealed bag with the device, then carry it around in your pocket for a week. If after that the thing doesn't have scratches on it - then it passed a scratch test. (Of course everything but the screen should protected with something like tape or some other cover)

[inteller @ Dec 4th 2008 8:46AM]

well, I'm just glad to see this guy is getting to use his knife for other things besides cutting the tape to his japanese porn mags and opening the cans of spam his mom cooks for him. things are looking up for Internet Tough Guy.
