this is weirs

i immwstchib my progamrr.frind play gwent

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

that $175 cosplay shit

actual maille was v effective, duh, they used it for centuries

I thought we moved past that, I already said it probably wont stop anything even with padding

they would have stopped real quick if the real deal didn't work

real deal wasnt exactly magic hardened steel either though.

no, but it was much thicker and stronger

historic examples are pretty thin for what they were

and had thick layers of linen udnerneath that even on their own could stop most little jabs and stabs

was about to say the gambeson was what did a good bit of work
