For little stuff a wood chisel will work fine, but for removing larger areas of ratan a drawknife or plane would be much better.

Typically on helms with asymmetric breaths, they are on the RT side of the helm, this puts the stronger unpierced side of the helm on the side more likely to be struck by a lance or other weapon by a RT handed opponent. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_tk-Rdkmg4f4/S2cBWr9kCGI/AAAAAAAAAV8/vD5YvK8HpyQ/s512/21305...

I wear elk gloves from glove-s.com under my demis, the elk skin is squishy and takes some of the sting out of getting hit in the hand. Also elk stays soft and flexible even after getting soaked in sweat.

This is pretty good evidence of the value of mail, with or with out a padded undergarment. Even with out padding mail would be worth the weight to protect against that kind of light blow.
