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.

Yes, Benchmade ftw!
I too saw the Benchmade. Currently carrying a Griptilian on a daily basis.
Is that the StagHorn?
Very reinsuring...
Yes, I love my Stryker, such a lovely knife.
I carry something similar every day, but it's a Kershaw.
Second on Kershaw.
Leek 1660CKT.
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.
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.
I carry a Kershaw Vapor is with me everyday. Would like to get a non serrated with at tanto style blade though.
my edc is a mini-presidio
Benchmade but be good but Microtech is superior to that. Not even close.
I saw the benchmade and came here to mention it's maker...so much for being first
That's a Benchmade (Auto Stryker) and that particular one is commonly issued to US special (Commando) forces.
Is anyone else disappointed that he didn't plunge the knife into the phone? I was all excited...
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was hoping for.
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.
Does this mean it won't blend?
iPhone blended just fine so i dont see why not.
everything blends. Except chuck norris. Welcome to 2007
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!!
Because Hold McGroin is funny and hilarious too.
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.
Uh
Less talking, more knifing.
is this an obscure futurama quote?
that would be less talking more THE CLAMPS!
Nothing to post today I guess?..
i am very dissapointed, i could have scratched that thing. he barely seemed like he put any pressure on it at all.
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.
bad pseudo viral marketing.
you should have seen the scratches that the storm put into the knife... much more impressive
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 ....
Is it a safe upgrade from a Razr? Will it take a bullet for me?
It doesn't take a bullet. A bullet takes it.
LOOK OUT !!!! he's got a knife! Someone should have told that boy not to bring a knife to a gun fight. ;)
I don't thnk he was honestly scratching the screen to his best abiltites. RIM fan boy ? :]
He talks too much...
yes he drones on and on. This whole video should have taken about 2 minutes.
I came here looking for carnage... I left disappointed.
Talk about conducting a Benchmark Test. Somebody should explain it to him..
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.
Because the majority of cell phone and ipod screens do scratch.
Not everyone is an iphone toting cynic.
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.
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.
That's not a knife... THIS is a knife
*pulls out spoon*
I see you've played knifey spoony before.
is this round 2...
?
did iPhone lose?
The BlackBerry Storm. Only Chuck Norris can scratch it.
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)
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.
