I have no idea. I've don't have experience in wearing this while taking a real medieval european (1400+) frontal blow to check if I had the power to flee/kill my adversary.
The leather is very thick though. It's lined with a 2mm layer of leather, the base layer is 5mm and the panels are 3mm. Perhaps I should try it sometime.
I um... Cut out the pattern from my original cardboard one, cut in the designs with a knife and beat them into it while the leather was moist. I don't know if this answers your question?
Oh intereasting ..well if u try, use just a little material and stab it ...see how it works
Oh I see..but u use special tools or ordinari kitchen knife ? ... Could you please hint me I would really love to try leatherworking its a beautifull skill
Sure. It's very thick leather. I think it'd look a bit worn over time after it having received various beatings but that could add to the flair I guess.
Tghou I wonder, if it is really capable of takeing a real medieval european (1400+) frontal blow and also have the power to flee\kill your adversary
Also, despite this, I really wonder how did u carve the design ? :-/ did you cut it out, beat the leather or compresed it ?
