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!

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.

The gloves are relatively resistant to being cut but yes a sharp cutting instrument will cut them.

I've never had a problem with it being abrasive. Smooth as any other mouse pad I've used. I like to rest forearm on the table when I'm using a mouse and I've never even noticed that as a problem. Unfortunately no other way to describe it, my mouse tracks very well on it so I'm guessing it's tightly and smoothly woven.

It is thick enough to hold it's shape well after cutting out a lot of material. It's not very easy to cut unless you have a very sharp exacto knife and strong hands. I have strong hands but the fingers on my right hand ached for days after cutting out a bunch of intricate designs.

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

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 have a metal flea comb - real close together teeth - that I use to pull the hair from the velcro. And wash the glove in a mesh bag with the cold water machine wash items. A left handed glove would just be super!

Mike, the case should fit your mandolin just fine. I used the case for a Kentucky KM-505, which is a similar size to your Rogue, and it fit well. The case is a good option for a one-size-fits-most option for A-style mandolins. Cheers!

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...

Yes you can, it just slides into an open slot between the glove and your palm and can be easily removed without removing any stitching.

Short answer: yes, just barely.Long Answer: there is no reinforcement at the bottom edge of the sheath, so if your machete has a sharp point it WILL poke through the fabric.

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.

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, I would never take the pick guard off of this mandolin. Without it, picking would wear through the wood. I still play this mandolin untill this day, and I actually never have problems with it. I was being critical when I said it buzzes when I strum hard.

If your working with sharp hand tools such as knives there are areas on the gloves that are resistant (more padded) while other areas are thinner and a knife would surely cut through. Hope this makes sense.

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.
