Kevlar® K-159 was developed for correctional institutions as the first stab resistant fabric. This new Kevlar® fiber, which is 4 times thinner than typical ballistic yarns, is used for an ultra-dense weave but still maintains a strength value that is five times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis. It takes multiple layers to make something stab resistant.

IMPORTANT: Testing of any new design is recommended for those companies or individuals trying to manufacturer bullet resistant or stab resistant items using Kevlar®. It can take many plies of ballistic fabric such as Kevlar® to stop a bullet or sharp objects, so testing of any new design is highly encouraged. Note: We do not have the answer to how many plies your design will need.
