Would this glove protect my hand when opening oysters? I use a slightly pointed knife and open them from the side, not the back.

Yeah....it's chain mail like the knights of olde used to wear. I have sliced my hand, and gouged my hand, and this glove catches it. No damage to the wearer.

No doubt, My kitchen staff uses the glove while using chef knifes. A shucker shouldn't be a problem

Yes it works well on oysters. That's exactly why I bought. You can also wash it in the dishwasher.

It was a lot better than just using bare hands. But as far as shock absorption, I would recommend Under Armour batting gloves. They're the best I've ever used.

I really don't think so. After getting these I am not all too impressed with them. They fit tighter than expected and knife points go right through them. They are kinda slippery like wool or mitten style gloves. I went with hexarmor gloves instead. They really protect from cuts and lacerations on a level that is highly above the competition. look up their site you will love the gloves. They take a little bit to break in but after having them for 6 months they hold up well to the abuse I put them through. Hope this helps

I have very large hands (wear XXL gloves and even those tend to be a bit small). My hand fits reasonably well on the grip, but the second knuckle of my index finger does sometimes rub against the guard. I definitely will wear gloves when using this machete, to reduce the discomfort.

The tang is full width through the handle. You would be hard pressed to damage it without serious effort.

The glove is padded on one side to be used in the left hand. IF you used it on your right hand the fabric touching iron would be a poyester type fabric which surely would burn.

Obviously, I can't appreciate the extent of your dexterity but in my limited ownership of this device, it seems to me that it snaps closed quite easily. If your fingers can't do it, you could probably effect closure with the edge of your hand. Since this a returnable item, if you have a problem you could always send it back for refund.

You only get 1 glove in this package. I have heard of people getting cut by broad heads stuck in deer so this might be a good idea reaching up into the chest cavity to cut the esophagus, this glove is porous and will not keep. Your hand from contacting blood and other fluids, but still a good idea to protect your hand and fingers.

I use the glove on my left hand for knitting. Take hold at the wrist and pull the glove completely inside out (just like turning a sock). Although, the thumb area has "stays" in it, they turn easily with a small adjustment at the end of the thumb compartment. Hope this helps. Marjory Overholt

I have not purposely tried to cut the gloves and have yet to have an accident as I am prone to. So far I find the biggest advantage is being able to hold securely the chicken, meat whatever while I am slicing. I consider the gloves a prudent, helpful investment

I think so. The screw cap is the only impediment to access, and it's fairly simple to use, and not difficult to thread. It isn't on a chain, so fumblng and dropping the cap is a possibility, but I haven't done so yet with a couple of months of use behind my belt. My glove size is 2xl, so our hands are likely similar in size. If you are close to a Cracker Barrell restaurant, they used to sell small wooden tubes for toothpicks with a pull-off lid in their gift-shop if you think that would be better.

Part of the protection of knit cut-resistant gloves comes from their "rolliness." Think of trying to cut anything round (a cucumber, a tomato) with a sharp knife without holding the object down; it just rolls around. But hold it in place and the knife cuts easily. With the glove, you want this rolliness to help prevent cutting. So if the glove doesn't fit your daughter tightly, that's a good thing--unless it's so loose it makes her clumsy. Sounds like this one would be a good choice for her.

Where the pads are you will be pretty well protected, so the palms and insides of the finger. The sides will offer some protection against blades but not needles. The back of the gloves are pretty much mesh, so no protection.

The palm of the glove has padding on it that should be thick enough to protect from rose bush thorns. The back side of the hand only has padding on the knuckle area so he would not be completely protected on the backs of his hands.

I bought two gloves and use them both at the same time. I didn't turn my gloves inside out. However, it could be done. The gloves work very well. I use them when sharpening primarily.

See I hold it with my thumb and my index finger and have the ring in my palm, so as a "Knife" the handle is kinda small though not unreasonable, but for a throwing knife I find it just fine. It really depends how your gonna be using them.
