Im not sure how that figures into anything as most knives would have mainteined integrity

this is weirs

are you drunk

for a stab you dont need to worry about edge retention, you need to worry about having enough strength to punch through armor

which for the soft stainless you can get for this sort of price, this thin

any cheap shit knife will do without even caring

14 gauge in a ring is pretty hard to punch through, tbh

I doubt it will cut through mail.

they don't even say what steel it's made of aside from "stainless"

ancient steel was softer but it wasnt butter soft

which tells me 1. it's very cheap and 2. definitely not hardened

wouldn't risk getting stabbed wearing this crap

anyone serious about stabbing you will get right through it unless it's literally a child with a butterknife

ah yes

maille that will stop it will be using expensive steel, riveted, hardened, and it will cost a lot more than 200usd

steel work hardens
wait are we on the topic of mail in general or the specific vest?

also why are you trying to buy maille for anything other than reenactment or hema or such anyway

that one which was linked earlier is definitely some cosplay shit instead of a serious thing

just get tacticool stabproof sleeves

yall fu ken gay

lmao

kill urr slef

stabs are harder to predict tbh, someone can come at you with a rusty axe or a needle, hard to plan for both extremes

@johnfrum the one linked earlier

oh that will probably split

the like $175 wire welded tiny wires rings

yeah that's the one i was talking about a modern knife will go through like fkn butter

like i said, knives will cut sheet thicker than those rings

diffrence between sheet and mail

yeah, way less material to split

only have to break a couple rings to get through vs having to move a bunch of material out of the way in a sheet

mail doesnt work by stopping all stabs it works by letting the tip get trapped in a ring and having the rest of the mail absorb the blow.

tip won't get trapped in a ring it's cut apart

and then there's basically nothing but a 3-4 other equally weak thin rings stopping it going further

If mail was butter soft they would have stopped using it pretty damn fast, lad.

that maille linked earlier

not historical actual armour
