Skallagrim | Could a Cutting Mat Save You from Cuts (Apocalypse Armor)? @Skallagrim | Uploaded 6 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Cut resistant materials might be highly sought after as improvised armor in a (post-)apocalyptic SHTF scenario. What about a sheet of self-healing cutting mat as used in various crafts? It's definitely cut resistant, so let's see what kind of protection it could offer in a practical test.
What I used in this video:
Chakram by Wulflund

Baryonyx machete (no longer available)

Shirasaya katana by Hanwei
kultofathena.com/product/hanwei-bamboo-stick-katana/?koa=259
Viking axe

Other improvised armor testing:
Duct tape

Glued paper

Book in a backpack
