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.

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.

Just purchased this to use with a mandoline slicer. I was able to confidently slice vegetables that are too skinny to use the hand guard that came with the mandoline, such as carrots, summer squash and greenhouse cucumbers. I still exercise caution since the glove states cut resistant, not cut proof.

I bought this for my mother-in-law to use when cutting her roses. To my dismay there was only ONE glove instead of two. Perhaps the vendor can indicate the amount of items in the package so as to avoid future confusion. I suppose I will have to inspect the product description a bit more closely next time.

I cook a lot. That means lots of chopping and grating. My knives are sharp and my graters are the microplane type. I'm definitely not a klutz but in the course of time I have accidents--all cooks know what I'm talking about. So, I bought this glove. It works...if you put it on. I don't like having it on. Holding your food with a glove on is NOT the same as holding the food with your fingers. I'm getting more disciplined at wearing the glove, but not perfect. I scraped a knuckle just last week grating some cheese. I'll wear that glove for a while until I get stupid again. Bought a pair for my son, who I'm sure doesn't wear it.

Good product for using a mandoline to prep food as well as for practicing basic knife skills. Well worth the price in avoided emergency room trips.

I've had this glove for about a year and have used it four or five times. It works well and I can use my mandolin without having to use the clumsy food gripper. It has worked quite well; I can slice onion all the way down to the nub and not cut up my fingers. I can throw it in the washing machine when I'm done for easy clean up. Recommended!
