Would this be a good glove for wood carving?

I can't be sure as I have not tried but it has good grip and extremely puncture proof so it will provide the necessary protection for your hand. If the grip was not sufficient, you could buy a tacky spray that they make for bats to increase the grip when swinging. Either way, it should work

Probably. It does not let fish scales or bones through, so I would imagine it would work well with wood and splinters, etc., - Nice fit so this allows freedom of movement.

I don't do woodcarving. I have used it on very rare occasions to clean fish. My guess if you're going to use it while manipulating very small pieces of wood it probably wouldn't work for you. But if you're carving wooden lures it might be worth a look.

It would keep your hands safe but is not good for fine or delicate work. I don't think you'd be very happy with it for that purpose.

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 doubt, My kitchen staff uses the glove while using chef knifes. A shucker shouldn't be a problem

No good for that. These gloves are very thick and even underwater they are kind of hard to maneuver. Look into gloves with "thinsulation" I have some from Wilsons Leather and they're great.

It would do it but it certainly wouldn't be my first choice. You would be better off with a knife with a skinning hook and soft rubber grips like the Buck skinning knife.

I think you would be fine picking up a burning log if you're only looking to shift its position or relocate it quickly within a fire. If you plan to take your time holding a log, these would not be a great option. You will quickly feel heat through them with prolonged direct contact to heat sources, and you risk burning the glove as well. Brief exposure might be okay, depending how hot the flame is burning.

Since I have large-ish hands, I couldn't say for sure but I think you'd be fine. This mitt is okay for grabbing a roaster or baking pan out of the oven, but I found it uncomfortable to use when wrapping one's hand around the handle of a skillet because of where the thumb is.

I am using a 35# recurve and this glove works well. The fingers are covered to nearly the second knuckle on the inside of the hand. The only issue that I have had was my initial uses, the glove hadn't quite formed to my fingers and the index finger was twisting a little. Other than that, I have been very happy with my glove.

I do not think this glove would be too tight on your thumb. It has an adjustable strap on the thumb so you can fit it for your comfort. It has 2 other adjustable straps that fit around hand. I have found it to be the most comfortable thumb splint and think you will like it. Best to you!

This glove does tend to run larger than other gloves I have used. I would say the glove would fit.

It is a great companion knife for camping,hunting,fishing Excellent all purpose bushcraft knife I think its not a good knife for intricate wood carving

I normally would go with a medium glove, but the large is fine, as I did not want skin tight garden gloves. Plenty of room for the fingers, but am still able to grip pruners, etc., without any problem and still pick up cut pieces of plants from the ground. Gauntlet extends nearly to my elbow, which is what I wanted.

They would be good as an addition to carving tools. These tools would work good on detail work but not so much for a gross reduction of media.

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.

Absolutely not! This is one reason I have to have this kind of glove when doing yard work. They are perfect.

Temperature wise they would be good, but for fireplaces I prefer the longer traditional thick leather lined gloves. They defintely have higher temperature range, but your lower arm is a little exposed in fireplace scenario.

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
