has anyone tested the cut resistant Kevlar claim? I want a pair for visiting the crime ridden big city. **Thanks for the answers, I'll buy a pair for my traveling coat. The cities are so full of felons, screaming crazy people, and violent crime that...

if they ar LINED (the inside has a Kevlar glove),they will be cut RESISTANT not ptoof. mine are the the short cuff kevlar flight glove the palm is a very thin touch sensitive leather type matrial, the back is a thin kevlar weave. the latter are good duty gloves allowing tactial work, the former have almost no tactile use no fine morot skil use at all. check for my comment under the product to see if it is the same mod. I got.

Initially I purchased the wrong size and contacted the company. They were very helpful. I sent the initial pair back and they exchanged them for a pair that fit better. It's been a couple of years so I don't remember all the details. They're in my suburban as part of my PPE (personal protective equipment) if I have to do extrication, etc. Often by the time I get on scene, however, the folks are already out of the vehicle. Hope this helps...

I double checked my order placed a few months ago to be sure, I have 2 pairs, so they are shipped as a pair. (Note this is a correction/update from earlier answer today, thought I had received one pair but in fact was 2 pair, sorry.) You might want to look at G and F items like this, you can get a 6 pack, 3 pair for a lot less. They only go up to the elbow, are only available in yellow but they are made of Kevlar and offer a lot of protection. I wear them around the house and out in the yard, as I have a very large garden. Also note that if you order the Geri Sleeve in Brown they run small. (Some reviews note this, glad I took their advise.) Hope this helps. Thanks.

I don't actually see a question here. But yes, that's what they claim they are. However the gloves offer nearly NO insulation, if you grab cold metal with them on it will cut straight through the glove. I got some 3M motorcycle gloves with "thinsulate" that offered significantly better insulation for about 30 bucks. They're out of stock on Amazon, or I'd link them.

No, the "kevlar" material is woven, only the palm/grip front is sealed the back is not. Workman's glove for cut resistance not good for gardening, you can get poked on the back of the hands.

I've used X-acto knives since my teens (I'm now 61) and I have never seen protectors on the blades by any Mfg., it is too be understood that these are for use by those who are old enough to safely use these tools which is what they are, and as are a lot of tools, they can be dangerous if not handled correctly. I would suggest that the user take their time and handle them safely.....

Yes your right on. I just got back from Alaska and note the same thing. If you move much it is hard to see through both eyes. I agree. However they work and our compact.

A Kukri would be better for defense, Cold Steel has several quality options. I have to ask what you plan on defending yourself against, because if you think you're gonna walk around town carrying something of this size in a way that it is accessible for self defense, you're probably gonna get harassed by law enforcement. A firearm is the most effective tool for self defense, if that isn't an option due to criminal history or because of your geographic location, then I would go with a knife. Check your local knife laws for type and size restrictions. The Ka-Bar TDI is an excellent option, and I believe it's 50 state legal. The Cold Steel Leatherneck is another excellent option if you need a longer blade. A Kukri would be better for defense, Cold Steel has several quality options.

They are designed to keep you from being cut while wearing...I know of no claim about being heat resistant.

TSA hasn't found a terrorist yet but they're great at finding knives etc... to sell later... on ebay. Not joking.. you can buy confiscated toenail clippers in lbs. :)

I was thinking the same thing. So I put one in my shirt pocket in the sweltering Michigan summer heat. It came out wet but not black. I put them in backwards they didn't turn black. I tried them on a few other places n they really didn't change. Only my feet when following the directions. Wash, socks, eight hours, all of it.. I'm a skeptic too, but I think the ten pack is worth a spin. I co things that make my body dirty inside and these do make it fell cleaner. It could still be a scam. See skeptic

Actually this knife is the largest fixed blade survival knife that I would carry. The BK 9 is definitely too heavy to carry on your belt for a long journey. But, I have walked 5 miles or more with this on my belt and I wasn't feeling like I wished I hadn't. I feel that It isn't too heavy or long to use on a decently long journey. That being said I think the BK 16 is a little lighter, but isn't as good for batoning or other tasks where the longer blade on the BK 7 is better suited, it does however have it's place also though. Take care and go ahead and get it or better yet, get both the BK 7 and 16 ! :) CDR Actually this knife is the largest fixed blade survival knife that I would carry.

Nita, I would be cautious in purchasing these since, of the different versions, from different companies, I purchased, these were the only ones that would not stay on my shoes (toe doesn't have anything securing it) Stablicer run cleats are bolts and quite heavy, but the Stablicer with the little nubs on the bottom got me through last icy winter without failing and no slipping. Original Yaktrax are a good product for occasional use, but the rubber you are running/walking on will fail with much use (same for the heel area of these you are considering). Stablicer Run are excellent, but a handful of bolts-weight on each shoe!

I wear the L2F Howard Leight muffs and you can hardly tell you're wearing these. Wore these all day this past Sunday at a USPSA match and felt great. Talked to a few guys wearing the electronic muffs and all said they never turn em on. Like they were a bit behind the bang (shot). Just what I've heard
