Chain Mail T-Shirt against Knives?

I made a account because the stupidity of page 1 made me angry....

Feh. Most of the "information" and opinions about Maille are still wrong.

A real chain mail vest will protect you from just about anything,

Tell that to the mass graves at Wisby.

unless you were being stabbed with a good spear you can count on the chainmail saving your life, of course nothing is 100% but chainmail protected people from swords, i think it will protect you from a $5 beer can knife....

Properly constructed Maille can offer pretty good protection against slashes and thrusts. By "properly constructed" I mean "riveted" not "butted." But even then, historically speaking, Maille was often damaged, failed, or needed repaired. And no one wore Maille without a specific undergarment beneath it to act as protection from the chafing of the Maille itself, to absorb impacts from blows that were stopped or turned, and (along with an over-garment as well) to keep the sun from turning your armor into an oven.

If you watch history channel entertainment shows or play video games and thing you can just stab or cut someone with real chainmail I will personally where mine and take the stab/cut(as I have before) lol

The chainmail on the wbsite is probably **** tho

Feh. I'm still wondering why you're calling it "chainmail."

Peace favor your sword,
