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!

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.

I cannot say for sure. I will tell you that the material in the same as the rest of the glove and it is very thick. I love these gloves and will probably get my daughter a pair.

There is a point where the metal blade goes into the "Fibrox" handle, so it is not seamless. I've never thought about it as a seam, just the way this great knife is made. The seam is not a weakness. This is a great knife!

You can cut the the thread holding the rubber to the glove & sew it onto the other side. I haven't done it yet but since my cats love the Love Glove I'm going to order another one & do that so that I can use both gloves on them at the same time!!!

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.

No. I've had mine for a few years now. I've used with a hammer to cut through big roots in the dirt. Hand never slipped down on the handle. Even when using it in a chopping motion there is no chance of your hand slipping off of the handle. Now this of course is with common sense. Hands not oily, gloves covered in some kind of oily substance, handle on knife not covered in oil or some kind of slick substance.

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.

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

Yes I have used this glove with my mandolin. It works great & I'm sorry I didn't have it when I first used my mandolin and almost cut off the top of my thumb. My thumb healed and I will never use my mandolin without the glove again.

Melt the ends to seal the cut site. I also melt any holes I punch as well. Woven nylon fibers will always fray.

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 used the material for scrunchies . So both ends were closed but as far as I can tell it didn't fray . While sewing

With any glove it would be bulky and not sensitive. When you add the wool liner it is even bulkier. The mitten with the cloth trigger finger would be better for shooting.

I've used the gloves as oven mitts, to protect my forearms when I reach way back into the oven. They work perfectly for my purpose. As to sharp objects, I can't say, but they are made of fairly thick suede leather, to prevent burns, and I would imagine it would take a very sharp object, propelled with considerable force, to penetrate them. I wouldn't use them as gauntlets for protection from saber thrusts, or to shuck oysters, however.

Sorry - don't have precise answers because the mandolin is not in front of me. It is the length of my acoustic Fender mandolin. The body is slightly larger and is solid. I have not had it long, but I can tell you I really like it. I just purchased a Fender 15 amp to go with it and they sound great. It took a little tuning when I got it - but ,other than that, it was ready to go.

Don't use the glove, wind it very tightly and hold the very end of the strand away from the iron. This one is great with fine hair because the indentions between the bubbles hold the hair on the iron.
