Are these actually made like chainmail, and not woven wire like the cheap knock offs(and fairly expensive ones too)

The gloves are actually chainmail links. They work well, but are not cheap.

As far as I can tell it is woven just like chainmail with tiny connected rings. The woven pattern seems very strong and I have had the glove for months now and it is still like new. I don't know how the glove would hold up to a strong strike with a big butcher knife, but I know that it will protect you while chopping or slicing with a standard knife in everyday cooking at home. Hope this helps.

Yes. Small 1/8" stainless steel rings interconnected with the rings next to it to create a mesh. Not wire, not a weave.

the glove is as described - stainless steel mesh. Very tough and very flexible.

I don't know how I'd be able to tell them apart from fake ones but I have a friend who got there same ones from the mall and ours are identical in appearance and quality. Also since mine completely destroy my Sony headphones that cost over twice as much I'm sure they are real

Absolutely not! Complete fakes...terrible quality. As soon as they arrived they were returned.

Mine were real and I've had them for a while and I love them ... but i don't have any knowledge of any fakes sold, I got mine like new and they work fine, also if you have a huge case like survivor or otter box cases you need a new cord for them like 6$ a "male to male cord" but I do recommend these

Yes, but theyre fake ones. i havent actually used them because i need to put my prescription on them. and the frame feels plasticy and cheap. but i think they might hold up when using them on the field

I was told they made from goat hair by a Shany rep. They are definitely not synthetic.

Yes, the ones I received were USA Made. These are a legit deal. I ordered 1 set because I had bought other ones that had Pony clamps in the picture, only to be sent Chinese made. I ordered a couple more sets after and they were also USA made.

Not like paper at all...or plastic either. You don't feel the 'protection' at all. They are very comfortable and easy to wash and dry. I love mine.

I think they are the originals! They are about 1/4 inch thick. If they are not the real deal, they perform like the real deal!

No, they are much, much thinner. Still they are beautiful & very well made.

No, they are not. I do reccomend them though! They look very real. I like them enough to use them for my wedding this fall!

No, despite what others have said, these are absolutely not real swords. The cloth around the handle cannot support much use without unraveling, the steel is stainless (stainless steel cannot be used in swords; stainless steel metal becomes very brittle over 7 inches), and the holes and the saw-like serrated edge are purely for looks. The holes detract from structural integrity, and the serrated edge, if used as an actual sword/machete, will get caught on near everything it comes in contact with. They also cannot be sharpened without a stone and great difficulty. These are purely for show.

They are of the same quality, very heavy and well made. Don't know if they are exact.

They are generic which is not original. Honestly the quality is terrible. Save your money and dont buy this.

I honestly don't know but I wouldn't take a chance with them. They have a cloth feel to them although I'm sure they're made out of some kind of plastic.

If you are referring to "forged" as a fake, they certainly are not. I took them to a knife shop recently to have them sharpened and was informed they are authentic.

Yes, they do. I have not checked each and every one but they all seem to be exactly the same with MagicFiber embossed on them.
