I notice that many users talk about being careful not to get cut. Has anyone used a cut-resistant glove with this?

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

Sounds like a good idea but, I have not. I used the herb tool at Thanksgiving and was very careful!

Easy.Grab and secure inside the glove or open up your fingers. Which ever is convenient. Hope this helps !!

I don't know much about wood carving, but since the glove protects your hand against cuts from the mandolin, I'm assuming it will keep a knife from making nicks in our hand, if the knife slips.

Joe,I generally wear a small or medium glove depending on the style and manufacturer. Wrapping a tape around my knuckles reads about 8-1/4". I found the gloves comfortable except for the trigger finger which was a little tight. I bought them thinking they'd give me a little more dexterity so I wouldn't have to take them off to pick up small objects. They're a little cumbersome as the ends of the mitten part are squared off rather than rounded. Hope that answers your question. If not, get back to me. I'm not sure I'd buy them again, but I wouldn't return them as they're kind of cool.

I have never used the glove nor do I ever seeing myself using it. I have never had a problem with burning my hand. I also never used the bag.. maybe you would but I have my hair straightener just hanging on my wall so no use for it.

I have not, per se, but I have been using them for shooting and the are great! Good feel and I've had the glove caught in the action a couple times w/o a mark on the material. Don't know if this helps...

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

I can't vouch for their efficacy for that line of work. They are a tight fitting, flexible glove. I actually bought mine to use as light/medium weight motorcycle gloves.

Yeah....it's chain mail like the knights of olde used to wear. I have sliced my hand, and gouged my hand, and this glove catches it. No damage to the wearer.

They do offer some protection, but ideally you want two things these don't have.1) Protection from cuts on the edge of metal sheeting from a glove with a kevlar palm and fingers.2) Superior grip of smooth metal from finger tips coated in rubber or silicone.However, both of these things add to the cost of a glove, and they will still wear out with regular use so the level of protection you want has to be weighed against the cost to have it.In some parts of the work like fabrication you might be working a lot with sheet metal screws. In that case you might also want a 2nd pair of gloves with a finger or two cut out for best grasp of small screws.

I just use spandex gloves when using it. They are enough to keep from getting burned, and otherwise, it seems to work as advertised.

Nope your knuckles will get cut and bleed make sure you use tape on your knuckles or buy the wraps. Everlast sells them! :)

Honestly I would say not to cut because of what it is. Some people cut em up but ALSO have seen people's who cut them up and they dont seem to work as good. But this is just my opinion, love these pads!

Hi Andrew. This is a glove that anybody can use. I bought it to play the infield but it was actually a little bit too big for the infield, for me anyway, and I have a big hand. So I used it to play the outfield, first base, and pitch. Once you break it in it has a very nice feel to it. Good luck.

Not a problem. if you're afraid of cutting yourself, check out the ones with the handles. I prefer this one, the grips on the handled ones are too big for my smallish hand. Or you can wrap a dish towel around one end. Either way, you find yourself taking extra care. I've never cut myself.

I bought my glove with the intention of using them while i cut fabric with my rotary cutter. Your question came at a time when I was going to make jerky. The job was completed with satisfactory usage of the gloves. I had a close call with the blade purposely to test the claim. i did not have a cut either on the glove or my fingers. I am very satisfied with the gloves. They may seem slightly bulky initially, but you get used to them easily. I won't cut fabric or use my slicer without them on my hands from now on!

I use these gloves when chopping food. They are excellent at stopping nicks and cuts from a blades light slicing motion but I do not think that they are designed to offer much protection from stabbing or hacking blades. I would not use these gloves with any electrical blades, routers or saws because they are fabric and could get caught in the mechanisms.
