stab-proof
Knife attack protection
Stab-proof describes materials or garments designed to resist penetration by knives or other pointed weapons: stab-proof vest, stab-proof gloves.
Common in contexts involving security personnel, prison guards, or anyone at risk of knife attacks.
Unlike bulletproof vests, which stop projectiles, stab-proof gear is engineered against thrusting and slashing motions.
