1.0 out of 5 stars Glad my field test was not on my hand, September 14, 2009

Upon receiving this item, I decided to test it by gently slicing it with my (slightly dull) kitchen knife on a cutting board. The knife went right through! This is potentially hazardous since wearing the glove would give me greater confidence and result in a worse injury had I not worn the glove in the first place. I have used a similar glove from another manufacturer, and it works very well. Stay away from this one.

At last! I can now use my mandoline(s) for a multitude of kitchen chores without fear of a trip to the emergency room! Naturally, I haven't tried to see how well the glove stops the blade, but after several apple pies and shoestring potatoes, I remain undamaged! The size medium glove just fits--I normally wear a womens' Large. Great product.

2.0 out of 5 stars Works, but don't expect it to last long, August 30, 2009

I recently purchased this glove from Amazon along with a new mandolin slicer. I wanted to protect my hands from cuts since the food grippers that come with mandolins are generally pretty useless. I've used the glove 4 times with the manodlin. It does a great job of protecting your fingers while allowing you to slice veggies down to nothing. However, I noticed the last time that I used the glove there were already 3 small holes each on the middle & index fingers of the glove. Granted the glove says cut resistant, but really, a glove that costs ~ $25 dollars I expect to be more cut resistant than this. I'm disappointed that it's not going to last very long. For my next glove I'll have to investigate the much more expensive Kevlar or oyster shucking gloves.
