Lamellar armour consists of many small metal plates (lamellae) connected by leather cords. The plates overlap like scales, forming a flexible and durable protective layer.

Lamellar armour appeared in Europe in late Roman times and was used until the 13th century. It was particularly popular with the Vikings and Eastern Slavs.

Advantages of lamellar armour:

  • Flexibility.
  • Durability.
  • Relatively light: Compared to other types of armour, such as ring armour, lamellar armour is relatively light.

Disadvantages of lamellar armour:

  • Difficult to make: Lamellar armour is relatively difficult and time-consuming to make, which makes it more expensive.
  • Vulnerable to stab wounds: Lamellar armour offers good protection, but is still vulnerable to stab wounds that can get between the lamellae.

Advantages of stainless steel:

  • Corrosion Resistance: stainless steel does not rust, which is essential in slatted armour where the individual plates overlap and can trap moisture. Stainless steel armour does not require as much maintenance and has a longer service life.
  • Aesthetic appearance: stainless steel has a shiny, attractive appearance that does not change over time. This is important for representational purposes and historical fencing.
  • Hygiene.
