A type of
chainmail
in which the
link
s are simply closed or
butted
in the weaving
process
. The
standard
way to make
mail
today, as opposed to
rivited mail
. Despite what you may
think
, butted mail is still quite strong, depending on the
gauge
of
wire
that you use and the
diameter
of the links. The most
common
type you will find today is 3/8" 16-gauge
galvanized steel
. It has the
tendancy
to come apart after some wear. If you own something made of this, be sure to
watch
it
careful
ly and close any open links with two pairs of
pliers
.
Stainless steel
mail tends to be much
strong
er, and while it isn't as good as
high carbon steel
, you don't have to keep it
oil
ed and clean it in a bag of
sand
, and unlike galvanized steel, stainless stays a nice
shiny
steel
-
grey
.
