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.

I have never used the glove nor do I ever seeing myself using it. I have never had a problem with burning my hand. I also never used the bag.. maybe you would but I have my hair straightener just hanging on my wall so no use for it.

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.

The portion against your hand is not. The outer part might be - if it is it is a low grade leather. I have used it for 6 months now and no issues.

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

You'll need a glove for your right hand if you are left handed. I have both on my boat so I can accommodate a left handed friend. He loved it while removing a hook from a catfish.Len Kay

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.

I've had no problem using it with my mandoline. I didn't use it for years before I got the glove because of the risk of cutting myself. I've got Parkinson's Disease and my hands are not very controllable.

Don't see why not. The glove will give reasonable protection against slicing your hand but remember that the glove offers NO protection against stab wounds to your hand.

No - there is no additional tool provided for protection of your hand. However the bottom of the grater (removable) has little spikes in it, and could likely be used as a buffer between your hand/fingers and the grater. Yes, it is sharp and I am really plz w/ this purchase.

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.

I can pick it up without protection unless whatever is in it has gotten dry and burnt. Then it might be too hot to grab. I don't have arthritis, so I don't know if it is "arthritis-comfortable." I do think the handle might need to be a bit fuller for a hurting hand.

they are made to withstand the prick of a knife, I would think they could stave off the fish.just be aware of the smell otf the glove

It's a cinch to deploy. Retraction I think would be difficult. I've lost all my benchmades so I can't test. To be honest, I've gotten drunk and threw 500 dollars worth of knife away recently. I'm drunk right now, actually. You could do it with me middle finger, I think, but then your palm might be exposed too much. I suggest deploying with your dominant hand and retracting with your weak hand if at all possible.

I've been using it for several months & not had an issue with the open bottom. I guess if you wanted to close it in you could cut a piece of cardboard or some material to fit the opening but I really don't see an issue with it. Handling it with normal use, your fingers shouldn't come any where near the blades but to each his own.

No, I just get a blister in the palm of my hand because of the way I work with it. I can understand your thought though. Using a thumb against a crossguard with a complete palm around the grip would certainly aleviate the blister but then how could an indistructable crossguard be made around the strong and unbreakable blade. I guess the Japanese are more agile with the tool. Dorothy in NY

That actually is a blade stop and not a thumb stud. It's not meant for opening the knife. That's what the flipper is for. The flipper can be used with either hand.
