Do NOT allow yourself to avoid knives!

I understand where this phobia comes from, as I recently cut my finger while cooking. But you must not fall into (kitchen) victim mentality. Lol. The more you avoid knives the worse the phobia will get. Cut things slower and cut them into bigger pieces than the recipe suggests but don’t avoid knives.

Also make sure your knife is a good quality. An extra sharp knife if safer than a dull one because you tend to use awkward force if the knife isn’t sharp enough and that is when people slip and accidentally cut themselves.

But I understand. I was so scared after I cut myself that I avoided even going into the kitchen for a few days (lol) and purchased no-cut kitchen gloves but otherwise I forced myself to face my fears and picked up a knife again and I’m better for it.

Fuck those hand guards. They trick you into thinking "this is inefficient and slow, I'll just be careful aaaaand my thumb is cut off." Cut gloves save the damn day

I have cut proof gloves that I got off of Amazon. They work, put them on the cutting board and ran the knife over them 4 or 5 times with a lot of pressure. Then I put them on and did a similar test to my palms. Then I tried 1 finger, and it also worked, but it freaked me out, so I didn't go any further.

It might cut if I did a stab+cut first, but I'm not gonna test it that way.

These are the gloves.

Hey this is random but there are "cut proof gloves" you can buy on amazon. They have woven metal into them so they are harder to cut than regular gloves I think?

I love mine. My hands get weak when I cut things and I slip and after the bad cut I had that didn't seal I got these.

edit: not metal woven, it's something else

>The combination of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and glass fibre keeps these gloves light and flexible, makin’ them perfect for all kinds of precision work. If you’re looking for a glove-of-all trades, you’ve found it.

>Our gloves also have an EN388 Level 5 protection rating - the highest resistance rating there is. Outside of wearing chain mail on your hands, these gloves are the simplest way to keep your fingers cut free.

I use a cut proof glove and a nitrile glove over it like I would for a mandolin. I haven’t cut myself on a grater for years.

I've personally never had a problem in all my years in the kitchen, but I understand some people do, which is why I wrote that second sentence. They're even quite cheap on Amazon. Grab yourself a pair.

Thanks for the reply!! I read this yesterday and it honestly helped me to get motivated. I bought these gloves from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00IVM1TKO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504298736&sr=8-1&keywords=cut+free+glove and they worked amazing! I wore them today and the bites didn't hurt:)

Also available at your local Restaurant Supply store usually! I'm not allowed to use our mandolin without one! LMFAO

Edited to add... I have no experience with the glove I linked to and there are lots of others on Amazon, I imagine they are all pretty comparable.

After my boyfriend cut part of his finger off I bought him some gloves. Butchers use them a lot and you can find them on Amazon. Usually made of kevlar or chain mesh.

Mind you I have only used this stuff to carve this one tiny thing but I figure I can always upgrade to different tools if I stick with it for a while and decide these things need an upgrade. Next time I buy supplies, I’m definitely finding another retailer for larger pieces of Basswood though. The selection on Amazon sucks a bit.

Getting him to cut a bit closer to the nub and then just sanding down could work. You could also consider some cut proof gloves to protect his fingers

Why not both?

Wear kevlar gloves and you'll always be able to catch it. I wear mine whenever I use anything that is sharp in the kitchen.

safety first
