1.0 out of 5 stars nearly worthless when used with a mandolin, November 21, 2010

This review is from: G & F 1607M Cut Resistant 100-Percent Kevlar Gloves, Heavy Weight Textured Blue Latex Coated, Medium, 1-Pair (Tools & Home Improvement)

When I first received the gloves I had great doubt on whether or not these gloves would protect my fingers against the sharp blades of a mandolin. They appear to be nothing more than thin cotton knitted gloves coated with a thick rubberized coating. Sure enough, I slashed through the tip of one finger the very first time I used the gloves with a mandolin. No, I did not cut my finger but only because my gloves were longer than my finger.

These gloves are not giving me the peace of mind I was hoping for when I purchased them.

To be fair, the gloves are not specifically marketed toward mandolin users. It was positive reviews of mandolin users that led me to purchase them. I would feel confident enough to use these gloves for handling sharp glass or metal edges.

Just going to secong several posts already here. I use a mandolin for preparing foods, and I collect swords that need to be maintained. Nothing is absolutely gauranteed to stop a slash or puncture in case of an accident, but these Kevlars provide some measure of safety and give you a chance to react to those accidents and maybe drop the trash before you're seriously harmed.

No complaints using these. I bought the larges because I wear size 11 gloves and these fit me very well. Price was great and they were mailed fast.
