A stab proof vest, or stab vest, is a reinforced piece of body armor, worn under or over other items of clothing. It is designed to resist knife attacks to the chest, back and sides.

Stab proof vests are made to offer protection against stabbing with sharp-tipped objects such as needles, knives and slashes. They are designed to prevent serious injury by prohibiting knife penetration beyond a few millimetres.
Furthermore, it will also protect against punches and batons, which can be seen in this video.
A stab proof vest offers little to no protection against firearms particular against high. Most bulletproof vests offer little protection against penetration from piercing weapons like knives etc. calibre

Many professions wear stab vests. Police officers are one of them, but it is also very common for paramedics, security staff, traffic wardens, environmental wardens, customs officers, immigration officers, bailiffs, cash in transit officers, door supervisors/bouncers, or anyone who else may be under threat, to wear a stab vest.
You should always look the vest carefully over for signs of damage - tears, smells, burns and creases - before you use it. Our Exoskeleton stab vest uses aluminium instead of aramid fibre, so the material doesn&#;t expire. Properly taken care of, the vest should last five years.
Please educate yourself about the legality and restrictions on buying, owning and wearing body armor in your area, state or country. It is your responsibility to uphold the law. Here are a few examples from around the world:
In Australia, it is illegal to possess body armour without authorisation in South Australia, Victoria, Northern Territory, ACT, Queensland and New South Wales.
In the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Nova Scotia a license is required to possess body armour, though there are no such restrictions in the rest of the country.
In the European Union, ballistic protection that is considered &#;for main military usage&#; is restricted to civilians.
In the United Kingdom, there are - pre Brexit - currently no legal restrictions on the purchase and ownership of body armour.
In the United States, it is legal to purchase and possess body armour, except for New York, Kentucky and Louisiana.

When you carry body armor you are likely to attract attention from civilians and law enforcement because they might think you will cause danger to yourself or others. Always abide by the rules, regulations and law enforcement.

This means for you that you get a stab proof vest, which has been in a professional laboratory and tested by professional equipment for stab resistant vests. This is done in such a way that a machine will drop a knife blade against the vest with a certain amount of pressure. The first pressure will be of 24 joules, and then at a maximum of 36 joules, this will be done several times for both pressures. To give a better idea of what joules is, it can be compared with throwing 1.9 kg from 1 meter and 93 centimeters in height. This is the pressure that the knife will drop against the stab proof vest. This is our assurance that we can provide a stab proof vest that we know with certainty has been tested properly. We have had a test done by an external laboratory as well as our tests done by us ourselves.
At a pressure of 24 joules, the knife should not penetrate more than 7 mm.
At a pressure of 36 joules, the knife should not penetrate more than 20 mm.
The vest will also stop screwdrivers, needles, knives, ice picks etc.
There are a few things you need to know if you are looking for a stab-proof vest. The first is that no stab vest is completely impenetrable &#; this is why body armour is often referred to as stab or bullet &#;resistant&#; rather than &#;proof.&#; All body armour has the ability to be penetrated by a powerful enough weapon. This may be due to the wrong protection level being worn or the vest being old and damaged. However, all stab vests offer an individual additional potentially lifesaving protection that the human body does not have on its own. Stab proof vests are resistant to penetration from edged weapons such as knives and other sharp objects, such as broken bottles. Their design allows them to be able to protect the body from punctures from sharp blades or pointed weapons.
Stab proof vests are made from a material called aramid. Aramid is a synthetic fibre with a very high tensile strength, making it ideal for body armour. Aramid was first introduced several decades ago and has since proven to be one of the strongest materials available worldwide. Aramid is used in both bulletproof and stab proof vests. The aramid fabric is tightly woven together in order to create stab proof vests. While the aramid fibres are strong on their own, their protection levels increase dramatically when the fibres are woven tightly together to create a protective barrier. This tight weaving of the fibres makes it extremely difficult for a weapon to be able to penetrate the material because a lot of force is required in order to actually penetrate through the material. When somebody tries to stab an individual wearing a stab proof vest with a knife, the knife becomes caught in the fabric, slipping through the material. The sharp edge of the knife is then unable to penetrate through to the flesh because it is caught within the aramid weaving. Although the cutting motion will damage the vest carrier, the wearer will be protected from the knife. In the case of a protective vest becoming damaged after an attack, you should always purchase a new vest, or carrier when available. A damaged vest will not offer the same protection that it would if it was undamaged. If the panels within the vest are damaged the fibres will not be as tightly woven, and the loss of closeness in the weaving could make it possible for knives or sharp objects to penetrate the material, putting you in serious potential danger.
When someone attempts to stab a stab-proof vest wearer the material works a little bit differently. Piercing the vest with a sharp, pointed object will cause the fibres to move around the point, causing it to be pushed back and forth in the material. It works as if someone were sewing with a needle and thread. The point passes through some of the fibres and then moves in another direction through others. This slows down the rate at which the item can pierce the vest and prevents a full puncture from occurring. After a vest is punctured it may still be useable, as punctures typically do not damage the integrity of the material.
It is important to take thorough care of a stab-proof vest. Any piece of body armour should be inspected on a regular basis for damage and wear and tear. A vest will only be able to offer you maximum protection if it is in the best condition possible. If somebody has attempted to stab or cut you, you should always examine your body armour thoroughly before wearing it again.
