Is this vest stab proof?
172094
No. It is a light stretchable fabric designed for concealment, not as armor.
172095
Nope! This is not a tactical vest. It is made from lightweight dry-fit material.

Nothing is "stab proof". This product does not offer any protection that any other brand of t-shirt offers.

No..it's a heavy duty shirt & reinforced in the holster areas, but wouldn't stop a knife.

Yes, I don't see why not, it protects your hand well from any slips with the knife. I used it when I filleted the Mother-in - Law. Joke !

not sure how things are mollied to vest but the sheath (belt clip removes easy) has lashing points all around the blade area then could lashed to anything you wish

Yes, it shows a bit. I use a plate with an operator cut. It doesnt bother me at all. I think its a good affordable option, and great for light duty use. This particular vest does not have an option for a back plate.

It wouldn't do any good even if it could be locked. Any knife will slash through the soft sides. Having said that, I traveled many thousands of miles with no problems of that sort.

Yes. The sheath matches the handle in color and provides secure protection from the blade when not in use.

It won't stop thin sharp objects from penetrating mesh. The glove is only for cut protection not for anything else. There are gloves with penetration protection as well as cut protection but this is not one of them. This glove is made of steel mesh in order to be flexible, the holes in the mesh are very small but not foolproof.

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the Petflect Vest, so can't compare them. We are very happy with out SafetyPup XD vest. It has not shown any signs of wear thus far.

the vest is slightly large to wear under clothing the weights are about an inch and a half thick i would imagine it to be like wearing a bullet proof vest if not 1 and a half times the size of a b.p.v. under clothing

It's very secure. You have to pull on it to remove it from the sheath. I love it it's very nice and high quality.

My answer would be yes. It is VERY CHEAP. You can literally make a cardboard chestplate and it'll be stronger than the vest.it's flimsy.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it at all!! The KA-Bar wasn't designed to be carried in a boot or hip pocket or any place that could lead to greater chances of foolish, self inflicted wounds - major or minor. The KA-Bar blade is very, very sharp and nothing to just fart around with. Keep it in it's sheath at all times and when you carry it, keep it attached to your belt. There it will always be within reach if it is ever needed but also out of the way and positioned in a much safer area. Knives of this size were never designed to be played with!!

This vest is made of a sturdy nylon blend. It is a very good one if this is the same make as the one I purchased 2 years ago or so. I had to take out some of the weights so it did not hurt my shoulders. but I like it. It has a Velcro closure on the side as it wraps around you. Good vest. I would recommend it!!

Yes...It is set up with removable leg straps and it also is capable of being hung on a tactical vest. This is a wicked knife......I will say that I like the new KBars better but they are more expensive. The KBar has a better length and better for say.....chef work...cutting or glean game or such.... This knife grew on me...It will tear azz through anything like rope or limbs...and it has the window punch...Heavy and balanced...If you ever had to use it for self protection the person you encountered would be did with one blow....but that goes for the kbar too.

You should be fine as long as you thoroughly dry the knife after getting off the tube. Rust will occur if the knife is left wet and exposed to the air. The TUF-Glide offers protection but it is not fool proof so take the time to protect your knife.

These vests are Lined with Kevlar, not the ceramic plate inserts, and are IIA rated. Hope this helps!

It certainly will be good for self defense just not very practical. Furthermore, depending on the state you live in, it may not be legal to carry on a regular basis. Check your state penal code on that. Notwithstanding, it is a good knife and keep in mind that it was designed for underwater use against large animals in their element, I think it would hold up fine against an assailant.
