That's fantasticoontil someone tries to stab you...

Hooray for the filter.

Filterpwned!

Mithril?

Psh, everybody knock crime only happens in the US. Fark taught me so.

oh,good.
My main concern in knife fights was always my clothes.

slash proof clothes? Thats a stabbin'.

That'll be $25.62

your brade kennot hoort me.

Approves.

Guy could make more money with aprons for prep cooks, butchers and fishmongers.

Call me when you have an Axel Rose-resistant T-shirt.

Thank you, come again.

used slightly thick fibers

only slightly? you know if we use thicker fibers, we might be able to make it bullet proof

kidsizedcoffin: Thank you, come stab again.

FTFY

Great now all we have to worry about is impact blows!

It also comes with +2 to piercing resistance.

Yeah, if "frequent knife attacks" is in the job description, don't bother to get yourself a new shirt, it's time to get a new job.

dedicated to the voices in your head , who stole my farking thunder.

Note to self...when robbing Japanese convenience store, use maces only and not swords, axes or daggers.

Are they Ginsu-proof?

At 190,000 yen, the cheapest of the lot is not just a t-shirt. I'm guessing convenience-store clerks are not going to be the greatest market segment.

Or even at 19,000

you could just buy a gun

does not approve

danar75: does not approve

Damn you!

Isn't using the tag redundant here?

Anyone want to photoshop a Japanese store clerk apron of slash immunity graphic?

I can't believe they're worried about knives in the land of katanas.

Isn't Kevlar slash resistant?

<Deep Announcer's voice>Perfect for Shingo Yamamoto, gas station manager and NINJA WARRIOR!<end voice>

capoeiristas used silk clothing as a deterrant in knife fights.....higher textile strength....not knife proof but better than cotton.

are they tentacle proof?

//slashies
///cant belive that wasnt done yet.

Knife goes in, guts come out
Knife goes in, guts come out.

However, here in America, most of our convenience store robbers have already graduated to guns. We mostly need Glock-resistant t-shirts here in LA.

Daggers are piercing weapons though...

Are they going to sell these to gun store owners too?

Whatthefark: Isn't Kevlar slash resistant?

I believe so... but, it's also expensive, hot, and not the most comfortable thing to wear.

Potstiekam:
"you could just buy a gun"

You are apparently unfamiliar with the 21ft. test. A gun when not already trained on an assailant is a poor defense against a knife. Guns can be good for self-defense in the right circumstances, but are not magical. Not everything is a nail when all you have is a hammer.

Plus, guns are illegal in Japan for common ownership. Getting a gun in Japan is a pretty tortuous procedure and, even then, is subject to a lot of rules an controls.

Don't they all know karate anyway?

Touche t-shirt maker...

I had just assumed that Japan was the same as areas in the USA that have strict gun control (in principle) like Chicago or DC. By that I mean you can just buy a handgun on the street corner for about $100.

That being said, I'm with Potstiekam on this one. My convenience store days were served equipped with a GLOCK model 20, 10mm Auto holstered in plain sight. Customers were always very polite.

Even the Yakuza are unwilling to really mess with guns because of the heat it brings. Only the Jakes and Russians in Japan use guns very much.

Japanese people always seem to be overcompensating for any perceived threat that comes up. Convenience store robberies are probably 100 times more common in the United States, but the Japanese are making efforts like this to protect people.

On the upside, the Japanese when they over-react to threats does make for good Fark headlines.

Example A:

come on, Japanese uniforms, u people disappoint me

/i feel better now

What if they stab me in the face?
