Flak Vest Penetration Test

The CQBT Combat Knife in a penetration test performed by Eddie DeLuca on a current-issue U.S. Armor Carrier.

The ZEUS Combat Knife in a penetration test performed by our tester Eddie DeLuca.

 

This is a modern standard-issue U.S. flak vest. Very little force is applied. And still the CQBT was able to easily penetrate it and the wood beneath it. Eddie only struck the vest with a light amount of force - from about 18-inches.
