What causes the “shiny clean line” on the otherwise “dull wire” of Scout's costume? What is the significance of this?

The man who attacked the kids on the way home had a knife.
He tried to stab Scout but her costume protected her.

When Bob Ewell attacked Scout with the knife, he left puncture marks in Scout's costume. Mr Tate said in surprise, "“This thing probably saved her life." What he means by this is that if Scout didn't wear her costume home that night and she was attacked by Mr Ewell, she would've been dead. |

Mr Tate had used his long forefinger to bend the dull wire for Scouts costume. The is significant because it is what save the kids life when they were attacked.

When he looks ar the costume, it becomes clear that Bob really meant to kill Scout and Jem. The shiny-clean line was made by his knife. |

It is significant because it proves that Ewell meant to kill Scout. her life was saved when the wire on her costume deflected the knife
