cutting the stitches would not only saved that vest but would taught us more .But its good to know what its inside and how simple it was .building one should be easy.

"Cutting open a stab resistant vest" Huh...

Interesting to know. Thanks for sharing

I dontvwantbto sound critical. But After curing the Metal chain mail you could had CUT the back white layers on the far corner instead of right in the center if the panel. By cutting the far corner you don't destroy the integrity of the entire vest, plus latter on you have more room for other wxperimentvorbto be saw back on and reused.

Fasinating. Very interesting. I would just like to add though James LOL. Its not stab resistant anymore. You've just ripped the poor thing apart. Good video. I wonder how strong that chain mail is by its self.

The yellow is kevlar lol
