Can the combs of a mandolin penetrate the weave of the glove to some extent or is the mesh tightly woven? Thanks

The mesh is pretty tight. I think it would work well to protect your hands from the combs of a mandolin. When I try to poke the tip of a sharp knife straight through the weave only 1/8 inch pokes through. It could go through the glove and cut you but it wouldn't go very deep. And you would really have to work to get a knife or other sharp object at an angle that would cause it to go through the glove. Also the weave is a bit thicker, the links overlap slightly, when the glove is relaxed, giving you more protection. When the glove stretches over your hand as you are using it, it opens up to a single link but this stops most sharps just fine. Hope this helps!

Works with a mandolin. It gave my wife enough confidence to actually use the mandolin. Saved a lot in bandages over the years.

This does not happen to me. I puss the cloth into the gripper holes. You do need to make sure the cloth is centered on the swiffer so that it can be pushed into all 4 holes on the top of the end piece.

I bought my glove with the intention of using them while i cut fabric with my rotary cutter. Your question came at a time when I was going to make jerky. The job was completed with satisfactory usage of the gloves. I had a close call with the blade purposely to test the claim. i did not have a cut either on the glove or my fingers. I am very satisfied with the gloves. They may seem slightly bulky initially, but you get used to them easily. I won't cut fabric or use my slicer without them on my hands from now on!

No, this cover is a very fine mesh with a tight zipper and velcro closure. Any penetration will render it usless

Lol thats got to be a joke question... But i will answer it. The glove has tiny tiny beads in side the outter fist part in front on knuckles and face of palm area. The glove isnt super thick and if you were punching a helmet you may get of a good amount or shots before it ripping open. As long as you stay away from face of the helmet where the grill is you might not rip them open at all...

OMG NO !!! The mandoline blade is devilishly sharp. My wife cut off the tip of her finger the first time she used it and we ended up in the ER to stop the bleeding. Google "mandolin" and "finger avulsion". I got 280,000 hits! If you let your kiddies use your carpenter's power saw unsupervised, then ... maybe.

I'd say it depends on your wrapping method when you weave your grip but the handle itself is basically just the tang. Its fairly short (not more than a palm) and it's basically the thickness and width of the blade. You might want to test out your chord as well because the machete's smooth finish might cause your grip to slip unless you have a nice tight knotting. Although potentially gunky, you might also want to consider cutting a base of tennis racket grip foam tape and then wrapping that if you plan on wielding the blade in sweeping continuous movements, rather than controlled single swipes. Mine has just the chord it came with and it feels pretty good. I've also been sharpening the blade considerably to keep a fine edge.

The blade for cutting is attached to the mandolin itself and very, very sharp. Then there are 3 triangular shaped black plastic things that attach to the mandolin. They are marked "thin slices, medium slices and thick slices". It is hard to read as it is "black on black". But you insert one of your choice and use the food holder and slice away! :) I just love mine! Have been married 57 years and don't know how I ever got along without it! Hope this is helpful to you....

No. The tip of the machette will poke straight through the un-reinforced fabric and seam at the bottom of the sheath.

My Kentucky mandolin has a really short end pin, and it's a problem, actually: strap gets preference, obviously. I keep meaning to get that fixed: but I just wrap the wire once around the strap for support and go from there. Ugly, but effective.

If you are talking about a leather work glove, the answer would be no. The grip is substantial but not big enough for thick gloves. It would work with rubber gloves or thin gardening gloves.

I just measured the maximum depth possible . If your mandolin is under 4 and 1/2 inches deep , than it should fit nicely .

All edges are bound really nice. Not sure but if cut, the edges might curl or fray. I would not, in my opinion.

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

I don't actually know. I have never played a mandolin. If the bridge is about the same size as a violin bridge, though, I think it would work the same.

Yes and no, it's will resist minor cuts. If you are looking for thick strong cut resistant gloves these are not for you.
