Reconstructing Ancient Linen Body Armor - New Book
#45
In testing my spolas against spear, javelin and bow, I found the single biggest factor was sharpness.  The leather completely resisted a "factory edge" on my spear, but when I ground it to razor sharp, hot knives and butter come to mind.  This effect was less pronounced with the twinned linen I was testing.
