Die cutting gloves?

[toxo]

Fed up with the little cuts and nicks, especially if doing one that's a bit tricky. Remember I don't have one of those fancy machines that make it easy. I remember reading about a kind of chain mail glove that was an arm and a leg. If I have to bite a bullet I will (before someone tells me it's not a cheap hobby) but a quick search trawls up some cut resistant gloves. They're quite cheap and seeing I might make a die once in six months I'm wondering if they'll do. I don't need a slicing protection. It's just a handling thing.

So I'm asking you guys if someone can recommend something please. I am probably gonna order something for tomorrow so I can get on but it would be good to have something that I know will work.

Ask your local butcher. Some choose to wear the cut resistant gloves

I use kevlar cut resistant gloves when I have a bunch of veggies to cut up, and they've saved me a time or two.  I don't see why they wouldn't work for other uses as well!

Dex Fit cut resistant gloves.  Been using them for years after a customer gave me a pair.

You also get finger protectors. Little cut-resistant things you slip onto fingers. I find full gloves restricting but I slip these onto my fingers and they seem to help.

I have a pair of these . . . one glove stays in the kitchen . . . the other in my leather shop.

In either place . . . it is used on the left hand.

In the leather shop it is put on most any time I get out my super sharp leather cutting knife . . . round knife or draw knife.

Same for my rotary cutter . . . 

Either one can take off a finger . . . 

I've never had an "accident" while wearing the glove . . . where a finger or hand  could have been seriously hurt . . . but I don't get those nasty little cuts and knicks that I might otherwise get without the glove.  They seriously do have my recommendation.

May God bless,

Bought a pair of these. They're doing the job and have enough flexibility. 

Thanks guys.

I use various types of gloves for shoe making and repairs . My standard are a rubber coated lycra material with a rough texture . I mainly use these for their grip when grinding down soles and heels . They also offer some protection to my hands when i am on the sanding machine where i inevitably  touch the sanding belts with my hands which takes a bit of bark off  .   Black nitrile gloves offer surprisingly good protection when handling sharp stuff but my go too is Kevlar (maybe ) finger protectors . They are like little condoms for your fingers . I generally only wear one on my thumb when i am trimming soles and heels with a knife . Having said that cuts are inevitable and just part of the job so i always keep band aids and disinfectant with in reach 

Here is the link to the finger condoms
