Reddit mentions: The best cut resistant gloves

A strop is only for honing (the final step to achieving a razor-sharp edge), while a whetstone could be used for anything from shaping the initial bevel to honing, depending on the grit.

If you do buy some Flexcut knives, which I highly recommend, you will probably only need a strop if you properly maintain them. In fact, they recommend you never use a whetstone and only opt for a Powerstrop if you neglect them for too long.

Many sites will recommend you buy tools one by one so you can get what you need, but as another beginner, I was extremely happy I purchased the Flexcut Deluxe Set. It was probably one more knife and one more palm tool than I needed, but it helped me understand what was out there and how to use them. A good, cheaper alternative might be this set.

No matter what you buy, one of the most important things to do from both a safety and usability (and enjoyment!) factor is to keep your tools as sharp as possible. That way it requires less force to move the tool through the wood, which is a common injury mechanism, and it makes it easier to create fun things. For the weird angles with V and gouge tools, I use another Flexcut invention. It works okay, but you can get the same results with folded sandpaper or other methods. I also bought a fullsize knife strop because it really does make a difference and you can get some with a lot more surface area. I haven't needed to buy a whetstone yet.

Also, I've since supplemented my starter set with Dockyard tools, which also come very sharp and keep their edge well. So far I've only used their micro tools, but I understand they have decent sets as well.

Speaking from unfortunate experience, you should definitely pick up a pair of kevlar gloves. I had a pretty serious hand injury (partially severed tendon) because I was just doing some touchups and wasn't using my gloves and got a bit sloppy. It only takes one single wrong stroke, and I had gotten complacent since I'd been so careful in the past. The gloves let me be more reckless and have definitely saved me from cuts, although they wouldn't protect against a stabbing cut. Thumb guards are also popular, but I don't actually like them very much. The gloves are nice because you can get a great grip on the tools.

When you have a knife or a set, you'll need some wood to practice on. I found ebay to be a great resource...just search for "basswood" and pick a few different sizes. 2x2x6 seems to be a good starting point to me. Make sure it is kiln-dried as well. Here is a good assortment that is pretty cheap. Butternut is another good choice, but for a beginner, I'd stick with basswood from personal experience.

Finally, if you are wanting a good book to introduce you to the subject, I'd recommend the Complete Book of Woodcarving. I've bought a number of books on the subject, but it is definitely the best if you are only buying one and need an overview to the entire craft. Old Time Whittling is only 30 pages, but gave some great examples and was very useful to me as well.

I use a combo of these two. Dex Fit first then the fingerless over them. Can still handle mail easily and my hands stay warm. Fingertips still do get a bit cold when it’s real freezing out, but much better than bare skin.

Sorry for formatting. On mobile.

As always, when starting carving I always recommend getting a pair of cut gloves. They are less than $10 and even if you only wear one on the hand holding the wood, they can save you from some serious cuts.

Especially when first learning. If you’re trying to get through a knot, the grain takes the blade in an unexpected direction, or for whatever reason the blade slips.

They aren’t perfect, you can still stab directly into them, but it lessens the depth. But they will protect you from slices. Mine have paid for themselves at least three times through not having to visit the doctor for stitches.

Also, whatever knife you get, make sure it locks (if folding). The best way to cut the hand holding the knife is to have it fold closed on you.

Layers are key for any outfit, as is caring for your gear.

Boots: Waterproof boots are a must. I like Wolverine's. Whatever the brand, get them large enough to wear at least two pairs of socks (a liner sock and an insulative) inside. For me that's about a ½ size larger. Get "wide's" if necessary. If the boots are the right size, then the sock layers will stay dry and warm. Too tight will result in cold, damp feet.

Gloves: if he's required to wear cut resistant ones, I'd recommend these. Get two pairs. One for general use, and one to keep clean for handling finishes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07892TQ3N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_cWB3Db3AABXG6

I prefer a good pair of insulated bib overalls with a hooded sweatshirt and warm hat for most of my warmth. I'll wear a waterproof Carhartt coat over the top if it's snowing. Buy high quality stuff that will last a long time- I usually get about 5 years out of my big pieces of outerwear.

so this is just one example however there's loads of different makes/styles/prices out there just make sure they have good reviews before buying cause its best to be better protected :)

Yes, I really like that slaw too. I've used it for several other dishes. You don't need a mandolin, but that really helps. And I love these gloves to protect your fingers (mandolins scare me):

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:)

I have a couple of devices to suggest that might help you out a little bit. And then some Recipes..

[Salad Cutter bowl]

These could be used I think for chopping some smaller items too not just herbs

Some of the items in this dish can be purchased ready to go like the onions and bell peppers. I also buy diced pickled jalapeños to use in dishes cause I can't touch them.

In this recipe they want you to cook the chicken from raw and then shred it. that could pose quite a challenge. I used rotisserie chicken already chopped that worked better for me.

So the first thing you need to start doing is an ABC chart. I have a check off one you can use if you are interested. You need to figure out exactly why this behavior is happening and you need to have data in order to formalize a plan for intervention.

Two, they need to keep themselves safe. You need to have a code word in your room for when someone sees him getting a little heated so you can step in. In one of my rooms we would say "Hey where are the potatoes?" or more simply "Potato." At that point you step in.

Third, have a go basket of activities. Have a bucket of activities that you can do outside the room to keep the kids busy. Always have an aide in your room with you.

Fourth, work on a token board. Have some visual rules on the it for him. Find a set time period where he earns the tokens. Never take a token away. Make sure he chooses the reward.

Work on a break card. This is my break protocol. When a kiddo is melting down, I wait until they are compliant (I usually ask the to sit in a specific location) and then say, "Oh show me your card because you want a break. Where is your card?" I have a card on their desk with the ASL sign for break. (I realize its a different type of break, but I am also working on a nonverbal for break so they can tell me. I also use the ASL when I say break.) When they start asking for a break, I give them however much time they want. They asked. They receive. After a few weeks, I limit it to 15 minutes. After a few more weeks, I make them choose 3 or 5 minutes (I just ask them "Do you need 3 minutes or 5 minutes.") Yeah, it takes a long time to implement and its a pain in the ass, but do it.

Fifth, you need sleeves. At minimum, you need kevlar sleeves. I have hexarmor sleeves. They offer better bite protection.

When a kid is hitting or kicking, the best thing to do is to evacuate the classroom immediately. Evade. Keep yourself safe. Keep a table, desk, or chair between yourself and the kid.

https://www.amazon.com/DEX-FIT-Resistant-Comfort-Washable/dp/B07HHZ4PRZ?th=1&psc=1

Can’t recommend Dex Fit enough, they’re the best ones I’ve ever found. Thin enough to handle bolts and set pins, warm, super thin and grippy, last reasonably well, cut resistant, work for touchscreens if needed, machine washable (I use them for gardening too now), available in black.

Most people I know get a Kevlar glove like this one. You only need one, for the hand that's holding the item you're working on. On your carving hand, you can go bare-handed, but a thumb guard will help for paring (pull) cut. Both of those items are optional, but usually recommended, especially for beginners. Some cuts need a good bit of force and your carving knife is (hopefully) quite sharp. Without protection, you can easily get a pretty bad cut in your hand.

I like to wear one of these on my hand used to hold the piece, and one of these on the thumb of my knife holding hand.

You're out almost nothing, and you'll have some really great protection that wont hinder your dexterity.

There is a lot of good information and knowledgeable people on this sub, they got me off on the right foot.

First and best piece of advice that I recieved: get a kevlar glove like this one. That is the one that I got and it has saved my fingers a TON.

If you have any other specific questions, feel free to ask. I am still a noob but if I can't send you in the right direction someone else might be able to.

Edit: Oh, and what kind of wood are you using? That can make a HUGE difference in the difficulty. Basswood is basic, relatively easy to carve and fairly cheap to order online.

Besides keeping your knives sharp in the kitchen (dull knives cause more injuries than sharp ones!) everyone should have at least one cut resistant glove in their kitchen for when you're doing stuff like a lot of chopping/cutting or especially when you're using the great finger-tip eating Mandolin.

Cheaper than stitches...at least in the US. I'm sure you Canadian and European fans are just slicing your hands up all over the place knowing your healthcare is better and cheaper. May as well get your money's worth!

if you're very eager to learn and willing to pay to overcome the fear and build your skill, you can always invest in some blade-proof gloves as you practice.

The blade is under your control, it does not have a mind of its own if you move deliberately and under control. Try working slowly and build up your chopping speed. Believe it or not the sharper your knife the less chance it will slip when cutting something and end up in you somehow. Always keep the blades in top shape and you won't have to force a cut or chop and end up in the hospital. There are a bunch of rules that a kitchen has when dealing with knives to ensure safety and knife longevity. Here are a few and I'm sure the more experienced pros here in the sub have many many more or some caveats to them. I worked as a butcher and now as a caterer/cook so these are some of the basics for us (there are many more that I have yet to think of):

• never leave a knife at the bottom of the sink. once it is dirty clean it immediately and put it back in/on the holder or case once you're done. if you clean as you cut, your knives maintain their edge, finish and no one will lose a finger doing dishes
  
  
• never cut in mid air (always cut on a cutting board) with anything larger than a pairing knife and even then you have to be extremely careful if it is properly sharpened.
  
  
• don't cut on stone, glass, or metal surfaces, always cut foods on top of softer surfaces than the blade. It will destroy the blade unless you are using a wood or soft plastic cutting board.
  
  
• never use a rod knife sharpener with the blade facing you or anyone else. sharpen moving the blade away from you and towards a wall or in a different direction (if you're outside bbq'ing)
  
  
• when holding a knife, don't grip too intensely or too loosely and always have a focus when you are in possession of one. If you have nothing to cut, put the damn knife away. don't walk around with it.
  
  
• if by accident you lose control and sense that you will drop the knife, back away and dodge it. DO NOT TRY CATCHING IT IN MIDAIR. Yeah it looks cool but resharpening or repairing a knife is way easier than replacing a finger or a foot.
  
  Hope this helps and good luck with your practicing!

If you are interested in carving things like these then head over to Doug Outsides YouTube and he has great tutorials on all of them.

The only thing you will need to get yourself started tomorrow for very cheap would be the Xacto carving knife which you can get from Michaels for $12 but they have coupons every single day of at least 50% off one regular priced item. Also you can pick up a pack of basswood from there for about $5. So for less than $15 you can carve those items in my picture by tomorrow night.

If you enjoy it I can point you in the direction of better knives et cet.

Also a cut resistant carving glove is a must but the fastest you could probably get that is Amazon prime in about 2 days

For cold weather I just go to a local hardware store and try some on since I want something that doesn't fit too snug in the winter. I try not to get the winter ones dirty so that they last longer especially getting oil based liquids in them.This are what I use for general use. If it's decent outside these are my go to. The cut resistant seems to let them last longer. These have been the best rubber gloves I've used. I worked an airline that had them free stock and we dealt with skydrol and they worked like a charm. They fit tight so you could grip things easily. I use these currently for general use and they work okay. 5606 won't cause issues but fuel, skydrol, and solvent cleaner melts them. I used these when I was a fueler And I still have them in my garage. They worked well.

It's great that you are open to that side of your husband's personality. Dumpster diving is a kind of adventurous thing- it's an excellent way to save money. My mom regularly wins money by filling out discarded lottery tickets and mailing them back in to be entered into a drawing. The only downside to getting free money/objects on account of the wastefulness of others is that digging through the trash can be dangerous. So I would give your husband a pair of these.

That does seem like an expensive piece of kit - and if you do decide to return it and buy a cheaper model, Id recommend buying something like these (protective gloves!). They might seem like overkill, but even as a fairly experienced cook, using mandolins (even with the hand guard) gives me the heebie jeebies!!

This is gonna sound crazy, but cheap woven Kevlar gloves are the best thing ever, you lose almost no dexterity, they won't ignite, or conduct, and will withstand 500c temps. I have been using these solely for about 10 years now tig welding, and the only time my hand ever gets to the point of feeling burning is welding heavy aluminum when i'm burning down to the last nub of filler rod. 99% of the time i wear a single layer of them, occasionally i'll double up on high amperage parts. The nice thing about them is that unlike leather gloves they won't get hard spots at the finger tips from over exposure to heat, and they last just as long as more expensive leather gloves

Cut Gloves can be pretty affordable to have on hand for people doing prep or dishwashers that don't have a lot of knife experience. Way cheaper to have these "on hand" than a hospital bill or L&I costs

​

I like ones like this

They are a lot thinner than most of the ones that my employers that required them would buy. With a thinner glove I was able to feel what I was doing better so my finer knife cuts didn't suffer as much.

If you want a chain mail one like the other guy posted, here is a cheaper option.

gloves, something along the lines of these:

https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00IVM1TKO?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2

everyone's talking about graters and microplanes and that's all well and good til you get a nice big chunk out of your hands.

Are they a little goofy? yes, sure. will you cut your hands? no!

Get a cheap food grade kevlar glove on Amazon! They are not very expensive at all and super duper helpful in not getting hurt with a mandoline.

I have an OXO stainless steel folding mandolin and I love it. So. Yeah. I just got into Japanese cuisine for work, and am so thankful that I'm an age-old mandolin-er. I also bought a cut-resistant glove at the same time, and would never ever EVER use the crappy guards that come with any mandolin.

I've got gloves like these, I use them pretty much any time I have to cut something now. I loved it when using a grater for cheese the other night, and again for cleaning said grater. It's nice not to have to worry about your fingers.

Here's the same type

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.

If you do Amazon, these are popular.
Benriner is the go-to Mandolin. I have one and love it.

Knife-Proof Glove

An excellent solution

Hopefully you got taken care of at the ER.

Here's a pair of gloves that I use with my mandoline.

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

Seconded! I love this mandolin so much! Also, if you’re worried about cutting yourself and find the plastic gripper hard to use, I highly recommend these gloves to go with it.

I got some cut resistant gloves as a gift last year and they look kind of goofy but it's better than losing a fingertip. Otherwise I just use mine very very very carefully and slowly and also not often at all.

I have a few suggestions for you

1. Removable and Flexible build plate I recommend Easy peelzy
   
   
2. A good pair of cut resistant gloves what I use
   
   
3. Safer tools i use these the edges are rounded but still be careful they get very thin at the end

Better yet, a nitrile glove over these NoCry Cut Resistant Gloves - High Performance Level 5 Protection, Food Grade. Size Medium, Free Ebook Included! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MXUHHGK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UY2ADbTF3SKRS

cutting gloves

Always play safe

I use the Benriner along with these no-cut gloves. It's been great.

I have these and they work great.

Try prying them off first but be prepared for breakage from the start. Just an idea, possibly use some spray glue to attach a plastic tarp to a few pieces at a time. Otherwise you can use tape and square off a couple feet at a time. Then some light taps with a hammer on a nail ought to break it into small workable pieces without causing a huge mess. Use some cut resistant gloves for removing the pieces, preferably into a sturdy cardboard box (the glass should be able to be recycled). Long sleeves, hat, pants, shoes and eye protection as well, and put down some cloth moving tarps, as those will catch and hold tiny glass chips without them bouncing off, and you can throw them out afterwards. Use a lint roller on your clothing to get glass particles out. See if you can get some of those shoe covers so you don't get any glass embedded in the soles.

Get at least one counter lowered to chair-height. You can cook pretty much anything you want while sitting in a chair.

If you're reasonably coordinated, but lack strength, you can cut lots of stuff with a mandoline (make absolutely certain you buy and use a safety glove)

That's quitter talk. Go put these on and make her happy.

I just ordered these so I can't attest to their quality but their ratings are fine on Amazon.

thumb guard

gloves

I was thinking leather gloves, but are you talking about something like these?:

https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00MXUHHGK

I would imagine a steel mesh glove (covered with a food prep plastic glove) would dramatically improve the safety of even cheap mandolines for those who cannot afford a $200+ one. Not to detract from what you are saying - just expanding it to broaden options for those who aren't familiar.

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.

There's these. You'd need the 11" model. Not sure if it would work though. Pipe cutters get a bit finicky if they're not rolling straight and a baseball is not a smooth surface. Idk, kinda expensive for a maybe.

Cut resistant gloves like these might be a better investment.

For wood carving, definitely recommend puncture and cut resistant gloves with a rubber coat on the inside. Example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074DTJ5ML/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_Twg0DbP7C0M50

Yeah. You can find them on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MXUHHGK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apis_1511840335128

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.

Yeah, it's something like this

I think trying that would require al least something like this

I've got this one. Works like a treat with four different cutting options. The handheld guard is good, but you do end up with some waste that becomes too small to carefully cut.

You could buy metal gloves to protect yourself.

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.

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.

Mandoline, you can get several types. I highly recommend getting cut resistant gloves too. Mandoline is the scariest thing I have in my kitchen even though I use it a lot. You could also try a salad shooter.

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.

Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00IVM1TKO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449652438&sr=8-1&keywords=Butcher+gloves

I'll look into all of that, cheers.

has anyone of you guys tried to flip wearing a cut resistant glove like this? is it too thick or slippery?

I'm notorious in my house for slicing my hands in stupid ways while in the kitchen, so my wife got me a pair of these. She did not enjoy my demonstration of them as I tried to cut my palm open. They work pretty well. I highly recommend them or something like them!

Cut resistant gloves, like these.

One thing if you use this get a pair of cut resistant gloves with a blade like this you will cut to the bone if you slip.

My dad bought me these because I had so many mishaps in the kitchen for some time

You should get some cut resistant gloves!

He was probably just testing them out

Or just buy cut resistant gloves. I have a pair, and I never use a mandolin without it.

I carry a pair with me during work, really handy when you deal with sharp objects of any kind.

Acquired a pair of these when I worked at a BBQ restaurant. Still use them when I get the mandolin out. I have gotten quite attached to my fingertips over the years and plan to keep it that way.

I'm on mobile so not sure if it'll work:

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.

Just search cut resistant gloves.

Edit: Here you go. I use them when cleaning my knives.

I got one of these at a local kitchen supply store (for waaay more than Amazon charges, now that I look. Whoops).

Also as a PSA, if you don't already have one, get a kevlar glove so you don't cut your fingertips off (I would have cut myself a couple times on this project if I didn't have one, sliced through the nitrile gloves).

NAH.

Buy him one of these: https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00MXUHHGK/

Three words: cut proof gloves.

I recently lost a hunk of thumb to my mandoline slicer while watching football, so I invested in one of these. Wear protection, people!

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/
