No....
But I have a thick wired maille hauberk. And I need a tool to work with it.
But some areas weren't put together very well.

Sir James A:
Off the top of my head I believe Far East (Japan) used butted mail somewhat frequently. However, they didn't use the European pattern, they didn't have all round rings, and it was sewn "flat" against the fabric sleeves (kote).
