I've ordered and received a Kevlar helmet. When I order a falcata, I plan to test it on the helmet. The helmet has several screws in it for securing a suspension band and chin strap. I plan to remove the the screws prior to the test. My reason for this is that I don't want to unnesessarily nick the blade on a screw during testing. I know it may sound a bit vain to some of you, but I figure that if the falcata can cut through the Kevlar, a few screws and straps won't do the wearer any good (in a real life situation, that is; I'm not going to make anyone wear the helmet during the test
). My question is this: Would any of you object to my removing the screws before testing? In a real life situation, I wouldn't be worried about any possible blade damage, but this is a test and defeating the Kevlar is all that I will be concerned about. The screws are located near the base of the helmet, so by the time the blade reached them, it would be too late for the wearer anyway and wouldn't do him/her any good. Does anybody feel differently?
