I think most people at home are using something like these.
> Made of food safe, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, nylon, polyester, glass fibre and spandex (for comfort), these gloves have been designed to resist cuts and nicks from even the sharpest blades.
Yeah, you can even get cut resistant kitchen gloves, which are great if you own a mandoline, for fairly cheap. The ones I have were just $11.50. Whatever nylon crap they're using is obviously much cheaper than that, but clearly you could make an actual cut resistant safe for fairly cheap as well.
Love it! And my mandoline is why I own a pair of cut gloves. 😂
My mom was very afraid ocknives too — until I go oh r her some cut resistant gloves like these. Conquered her fears almost immediately! There are several brands in a wide variety of price ranges, but these really helped.
Does anyone have any recommendations for cut resistant gloves for flipping a live blade? These seem to be the most popular ones on amazon, but I'm still worried about its protective strength as it seems that no gloves with kevlar in them are thin enough for balisong flipping to be feasible with them.
There doesn't seem to be much information about what I would assume to be a common question. I would really appreciate any information you guys have about gloves.
Before everyone says to get a trainer, I am already planning on doing that. I just want to know this if I ever want to get a live blade for whatever reason.
I just picked up the best seller ones from amazon a while back ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MXUHHGK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_FVv5FbYJN7TKX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 )
As I’ve only ever owned 1 pair, and I use it for home use, I can’t tell you if that brand is any better or worse than the hundreds of variations that are available out there.
Sure you can. There are different thicknesses of kevlar and cut gloves.
These may look thick but they're very flexible and would be fine for grating cheese.
>"I used the gloves yesterday when I had grate some cheese and they worked perfectly! They were comfortable and prevented my knuckles from getting grated! I've only had them for a few days, so I can't rate them on durability or ease of cleaning, but the material seems that it will last and all seams are well sewn! Thank you NoCry! I will recommend your company and product to my friends!"

Works with a mandolin, i bet it works well with a grater
The Jamaican prep cook I worked with ages ago taught me to put on an apron and an oyster shucking glove to shuck oysters. After a few weeks of practice I think I was at least nearly as fast as these guys. I wonder why they don't use the best tools for the job.
I tried using the pusher, it's garbage.
Thought the slice I took out of my thumb was a lot smaller than it is. Re-bandaging last night convinced me to get a glove.
Dexter are about the best for the price but they're not fancy.
I actually like my fillet knife from Cutco. The blade is extendable and it has a leather sheath.
Bubba blade fillet knives are popular. I don't have one. They come in different sizes and styles.
One product I didn't think I needed but now I can't live without is a fillet glove. Here is one for example glove

I am also terrified of cutting myself, so my bf bought me nice knives and a pair of gloves like this: https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00MXUHHGK
When they came he demonstrated how safe they were against sharp knives and now I use them all the time and I feel SO much more comfortable.
has anyone of you guys tried to flip wearing a cut resistant glove like this? is it too thick or slippery?
Cut resistant gloves, like these.
You should buy some cut-resistant gloves, eg: https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00MXUHHGK
Hey Wunky ever thought about cut-resistant gloves? May help. https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00MXUHHGK/ref=sr\_1\_15?dchild=1&keywords=rope+cut+multitool&qid=1622754549&sr=8-15
Use nitrile gloves, with some no cry cut protection or standard cotton glove liners under them.
If you do Amazon, these are popular. Benriner is the go-to Mandolin. I have one and love it.
You could buy a cut glove
Lots of meh advice on here. Mostly generic advice that you already got from a trainer. If you didn’t have a trainer then you know what to do next.
You can get all the training you want but it won’t matter if you can’t do it on your own in a room by yourself. The only way to get good at scruffing a mouse is by doing it. I’ve seen many people “pass” the mouse handling course and still suck at scruffing, of which I was one of them. All the pep talks in the world won’t work because you’ll still freak out when you try to do it by yourself. You can read all the articles and how to sites you want but they’ll say the same stuff: grab here and here then stay calm. Yeah great advice. I’ve been in that spot for a few years until I just said f it and scruffed like hundreds of mice and now I’m fine with it. Mentality and experience in mouse handling isn’t something you can just change overnight or by reading a Reddit comment.
Here’s a better method: Go on Amazon and purchase an $10 no cut glove, they sell them for kitchen use. Put it on and then put a nitrile over it. Now go scruff a mouse a few times with it on either the scruffing hand or even both. You’ll still be jittery the first few times, but know that it is impossible for them to bite through the glove. A bite doesn’t even cause sensation. If I didn’t look I wouldn’t know it even bit me (had three bite me during oral gavage training).
Eventually your mind accepts that there is no risk because of the glove. Now you are calm. Now that you are calm, the mice are more calm. Now you can get a good and tight scruff. Now you are successful. You have just avoided weeks/months of anxiety and fear from just trying to get it done by yourself with an unprotected hand. Its basically a shortcut to get the mentality and experience needed to scruff right. It’s easier on the mice as well.
Then either keep the glove or stop using it. I keep it on my scruffing hand still. All pros zero cons other than $10. I’m super relaxed, don’t have to rush in to pin them down and get a scruff before they turn and bite. My mental state is good and I’m not viciously attacking the mouse to scruff it. Other people I watch like eagle talon claw the mouse to scruff it. Oh and I’ll never feel pain or bleed again lol! Getting bit, especially by and adult mouse, can give you PTSD. I was even scruffing fine until then. That’s when I bought the glove because I was having trouble scruffing well again after getting bit bad by and angry mouse (literally opened the container and it jumped at bit me good in the thumb).
And don’t feel embarrassed by getting it. I’ve seen before on this sub people criticizing and judging others for using the gloves I mentioned. Everyone is different, some people are just natural mouse scruffers. Even then, like I mentioned it’s basically all pros no cons. The best handler I’ve ever met uses one, and he is the mouse trainer for the NIH and can scruff a crazy BL6 with just one hand.
I even purchased one for one of the post baccs I trained. They passed the handling course but when I watched them scruff, it took like 4-5 tries per mouse to even scruff and it was always a meh scruff. I could tell they were anxious and afraid (both mouse and person). Got them a glove and within a week handling was fine.

I use this for grafting fruit trees.
OP Alton Brown of Good Eats game uses Kevlar gloves with mandolin. I know Amazon sells them.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MXUHHGK/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_NeA3EbYXMDAHX
I also have a mandolin, and I have also cut myself badly enough to need an ER visit.
Now I have a pair of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MXUHHGK/ref=asc_df_B00MXUHHGK52857762/
I use the Benriner along with these no-cut gloves. It's been great.
Yeah. You can find them on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MXUHHGK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apis_1511840335128
Time to invest in some gloves for the stone hand:
If anyone asks, tell them you're entering your diva phase of life.
I'd use these gloves
