Welcome to Knife & Bullet Proof Ltd, we are specialised suppliers of high quality, cost effective Body Armour, Stab Vests & BulletProof Vests.
Our bulletproof vests use UHMWPE fibre or Dyneema as used in cockpit doors, and in other high risk applications.
This material is highly Bullet & Stab resistant, unlike kevlar it has high UV and chemical resistance, and does not degrade over time in the same way kevlar does.
Compare this with many of our competitors who offer the heavier kevlar ballistic vests for more than our UHMWPE lightweight products.
All our bulletproof vests also come with a FREE body armour carry bag!
All our Body Armour is manufactured to International NIJ standards!

The Corporate Manslaughter & Corporate Homicide Act 2007, a noticeable increase in lack of respect and anti social behaviour, have lead senior managers within the private security sector to look seriously into the potential use of body armour within their line of work.
Some very important issues in reference to body armour are however getting overlooked again and again.
Body Armour manufactured using aramid fibres such as Kevlar, Dyneema or Spectra have a limited shelf live of 3-5 years, depending on their exposure to UV light and moisture. This is a fact confirmed by manufactures of these fibres, such as Honeywell, DSM or DuPont. This means a body armour which has frequently been stored over night in the boot of a security guards car will not offer the same performance or protection level after 5 years of heavy usage than a brand new body armour or a body armour manufactured using polycarbonates, metals and other materials.
A body armour that has been frequently worn in the rain or during the winter months can easily offer a lower protection level as well if the inner lining of the inserts are not 100% waterproof, and many are not waterproof anymore after many years of usage.
However, it is very strange indeed to see that other countries and a;l UK based governments agencies such as Police, Immigration, Border Control and Customs & Excise are fully aware of this important detail. They are replacing their body armour after 5 years as a standard procedure.
This however does not seem to be the case or important within the private security sector here in the UK. The amount of body armour sold via eBay and army/surplus stores must go into the thousands. These body armour are sometimes 7-10 years old and even older. We recently come across a private security firm issuing 12 years old body armour to their frontline staff working on the doors of one of the most hostile nightclubs in the UK.
We at ASEO manufacture the lightest stab vests in the United Kingdom and strongly advise all security professionals to look at the date stamp/labels of the stab or ballistic inserts of their body armour. This will clarify how olf YOUR body armour is. This crucial information can easily make the difference between life & death when facing an attatcker waving a knife or firearm in front of your eyes.
