Hey, cool info Erik, thanks. Did they do any edge testing to it? From the sounds of it that would hve been pretty pointless though.

No, edge testing was not done. However, previous tests conducted by Craig Johnson of A&A showed that mail held up to slashing and chopping attacks with a blade quite well. The mail tested during those tests was not as accurate as that tested recently though.
