Can the combs of a mandolin penetrate the weave of the glove to some extent or is the mesh tightly woven? Thanks

The mesh is pretty tight. I think it would work well to protect your hands from the combs of a mandolin. When I try to poke the tip of a sharp knife straight through the weave only 1/8 inch pokes through. It could go through the glove and cut you but it wouldn't go very deep. And you would really have to work to get a knife or other sharp object at an angle that would cause it to go through the glove. Also the weave is a bit thicker, the links overlap slightly, when the glove is relaxed, giving you more protection. When the glove stretches over your hand as you are using it, it opens up to a single link but this stops most sharps just fine. Hope this helps!

You can cut the the thread holding the rubber to the glove & sew it onto the other side. I haven't done it yet but since my cats love the Love Glove I'm going to order another one & do that so that I can use both gloves on them at the same time!!!

I'd say it depends on your wrapping method when you weave your grip but the handle itself is basically just the tang. Its fairly short (not more than a palm) and it's basically the thickness and width of the blade. You might want to test out your chord as well because the machete's smooth finish might cause your grip to slip unless you have a nice tight knotting. Although potentially gunky, you might also want to consider cutting a base of tennis racket grip foam tape and then wrapping that if you plan on wielding the blade in sweeping continuous movements, rather than controlled single swipes. Mine has just the chord it came with and it feels pretty good. I've also been sharpening the blade considerably to keep a fine edge.

I use when use a mandolin slicer, they won't protect you from jab with sharp knife but normal kitchen duties they will protect your hand

Yes, it's a man made rubber-ish material. It won't fray if you cut it. Would help if you have a sharp exacto knife.

I just measured the maximum depth possible . If your mandolin is under 4 and 1/2 inches deep , than it should fit nicely .

There is a point where the metal blade goes into the "Fibrox" handle, so it is not seamless. I've never thought about it as a seam, just the way this great knife is made. The seam is not a weakness. This is a great knife!

It's kind of like slightly dried out play-dough. I found using a combination of my fingers and a trawl work the best. I got frustrated using gloves and just used my bare hands. It will somewhat depend on what you were trying to do. I had to build up a pretty thick area and had to do several applications to build it up.

Yes, it's a tightly woven mesh, and these help with this annoying problem. As long as you make sure there is no other uncovered food source for the displaced flies to go to, they will eventually die out.

No. The gloves are form fitting and snug around the wrist to prevent any dirt from getting in.

I have large hands and it fits. It's tight but it stretches on. Use it constantly when I'm using a grater or a mandoline. Think of the money you'll save in bandaids!!

Not sure it would as the needles from the cactus would most likely go through the material. It works for the micro-plane to keep knuckles from coming in contact with the groves that are sharp, but cactus plants have longer needles that would probably penetrate the glove.

Yes and no, it's will resist minor cuts. If you are looking for thick strong cut resistant gloves these are not for you.

Avoid. It is a woven fabric hot oil will leak and burn your hand. Get a silicon glove instead

I use the glove on my left hand for knitting. Take hold at the wrist and pull the glove completely inside out (just like turning a sock). Although, the thumb area has "stays" in it, they turn easily with a small adjustment at the end of the thumb compartment. Hope this helps. Marjory Overholt

I have never heard of a 'cut resistant glove. Sounds intriguing. My view: it might be helpful although the only time I need real caution are when I get it out of my drawer or when I wash it

OMG NO !!! The mandoline blade is devilishly sharp. My wife cut off the tip of her finger the first time she used it and we ended up in the ER to stop the bleeding. Google "mandolin" and "finger avulsion". I got 280,000 hits! If you let your kiddies use your carpenter's power saw unsupervised, then ... maybe.
