Are you one of those always get exposed in a high-risk environment having thousands of knives facing you everyday? If so, here comes your savior, a knife-proof T-shirt developed by the Japanese that could keep you safe and sound, while you’re being pointed with the thousand knives.
This special T-shirt is made using a slightly thick fiber that is three times stronger than cotton. The strength of the T-shirt made from ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber is equal to that of aramid fiber used in body armor. The best part of this T-shirt is it’s as lightweight as the ordinary T-shirt. And it’s washable and more importantly, it protects you from slashing attacks.
The little downside of this T-shirt is it could be punctured by a sharp point. There are two versions available with this T-shirt, which are the short-sleeved and the long sleeved. The short-sleeved costs in the range of $190-522, while the long-sleeved costs $220-590. The T-shirt seems to be made available only in Japan. As it’s the country that needs it most because of they have so many Ninjas around with brutal Samurai attacks.

[...] Straight from Japan (natch) comes the knife slash proof shirt. This lightweight, machine washable, shirt can prevent slashings- it is still vulnerable to stabbings though! If you’re like me this will be super-useful, I practically can’t walk out of my house without getting stabbed. This tough mesh fabric is said to be 3 times stronger than cotton (does this mean I can wear 3 cotton t-shirts and be slash proof?). A short-sleeved version starts from $190 and long-sleeved varieties can cost from $220 to $590. via TechChee [...]
