4.0 out of 5 stars No cuts & nice that there are two, December 12, 2010

I was glad that this came as a pair since many seem to come with one. The first time I went to use them I only put one on figuring there was no way to cut the other hand that was holding the knife and they looked like they would be difficult to clean. About ten seconds later with my new very sharp Mundial 5100 Series 6-Inch Boning Knife, Black sitting on the counter I brushed up against it and cut the hand that was not gloved! Yes, it is nice to have two! And when handling a lot of meat it also provides a small amount of protection from the cold. I tend to buy in bulk and cut up and freeze ~30lbs in one sitting so my fingers get cold. I also feel I get better grip on the meat with these on.
The only thing I don't like is that they are hard to clean without putting in the washer. If I wanted to use them every day this would be difficult so luckily I tend to do all my cutting at once but still run into what to do with them if I am not ready for a suitable load of laundry (I would only wash them with towels not clothes and even then I scrub them with a dish crush and soap before I put them in). If you handle raw meat with them the weave ends up with meat packed in there!
Also- I did a test by putting a grape in one of the fingers and tried cutting it. I did not want to ruin the gloves so I did not really try to cut through- I suspect I could- but I ran the knife across as I might when slicing and it did not go through. There have also been numerous accidental brushes where I know I would have been cut and was not so they definitely help. I doubt they are going to help in situations with great force but for basic slicing and de-boning they are very helpful!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must buy for mandoline users., January 26, 2011

There are two gloves that come in this purchase. I am tall, medium frame female and the medium size glove fits a bit loose however I wouldn't go for the smaller size. My husband wears them too and it fits him. He is about 5'8" medium frame. It doesn't matter how careful you can bit with a mandoline, your hand will slip and you can cut yourself. I eat a lot of different raw foods and cut a lot of various produce. A MUST BUY FOR MANDOLINE USERS. SAVE YOUR HANDS.

I brought my very sharp knife and tried it on the glove directly. Of course, my hand wasn't in there because I wanted to test it first. Guess what? It is amazingly prevent the knife from getting through. I love it and I gonna keep it forever.
