Is this an ideal glove for woodcarving? Since it says cut resistant I would think it would be but I would like to be sure before purchasing. Thanks!

I use these gloves when chopping food. They are excellent at stopping nicks and cuts from a blades light slicing motion but I do not think that they are designed to offer much protection from stabbing or hacking blades. I would not use these gloves with any electrical blades, routers or saws because they are fabric and could get caught in the mechanisms.

Has been great with knives. My husband keeps them sharp for safety, however I have done woodcarving in a few decades. Would be concerned about amount of force

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

I don't know much about wood carving, but since the glove protects your hand against cuts from the mandolin, I'm assuming it will keep a knife from making nicks in our hand, if the knife slips.

My husband says as wonderful as it is for our purpose ... stoking the woodstove ... he believes it's too stiff to use with a heat gun. He said the 'Ove Glove I bought him years ago he keeps in his soldering box and it works great. That's all the advice I can give.

Depends on how sharp and what level of force. These are heavy duty. I use them as fireplace gloves and I am never concerned about getting splinters or being burned.

Yes it is, when I ordered them I received two pairs of the gloves. I did see where some people were saying they only received one, but I believe they ordered a different item. This listing is for TWO and they DO work! I use them in my woodshop all the time!

Although this are a very nice work glove. In this price range it is imported. I haven't seen American made leather palmed work gloves in this price range in a very long time. I will say this, these gloves are holding up very well here on the property. I usually get about 5 good hours out of gloves in this price range. I've loading and cutting steel re-bar for a new irrigation project. They haven't quit yet ! I will order 6 or 8 pairs next time. I do like them ! Good luck !

It seems relatively durable and sharp, i've hacked into plywood with it with no problems but it isn't sharp enough to cut your finger if you run it along the blade. It is NOT full tang, if you unwrap the handle you can see where the handle and blade are welded together. The sheath is garbage but with some super glue it will last.

Yes and No. Yes, I'd feel comfortable using them with cactus for the most part. They are fairly cut and puncture resistant. However, as with many work gloves, you may find the smallest spines have a way of penetrating. You won't notice it while your working, but your hands feel extremely itchy later. I would suggest wearing a pair of vinyl gloves beneath these when working with cactus.

Which crime ridden city are you referring to because this really makes a huge difference in how well the Kevlar will perform. All I know is don't wear them while master-bating. The gloves will not hold up to hours of abuse as this. I have tested frequently

At first you're not gonna get any grip, then after a little while wear, the gloves will get better with grip. If you're dealing with small nuts and bolts it might be a lil difficult to handle, because the gloves are insulated in em. It's like wearing 2 gloves. Other than that they're the most durable work gives I ever owned.

Sorry, I bought these for wood carving. My daughter, who is a chef recommended them to me. She cuts and uses these for all kinds of preparation.

As far as I can tell it is woven just like chainmail with tiny connected rings. The woven pattern seems very strong and I have had the glove for months now and it is still like new. I don't know how the glove would hold up to a strong strike with a big butcher knife, but I know that it will protect you while chopping or slicing with a standard knife in everyday cooking at home. Hope this helps.

These saws are designed more for crosscutting, given the 15-20 TPI (teeth per inch) blades included. That said these blades dont have the re-enforced back so they would function fine for rip cuts, it's just that they wont be the most efficient at clearing the sawdust from the cut given the higher TPI relative to a true rip blade (usually in the <10ish TPI range). You would need to use more care when using for rip cuts - these blades are very thin and much more flexible than a typical rip saw, so it is much easier to end up bending the blade if you "catch" the tip of the blade in the kerf on your forward stroke.

I have done test rip cuts in 4/4 maple and it works well, not sure if this is beyond the design. Mostly using the saw for various cross cuts (trimming plugs, end pieces) on maple and walnut. Even tried it out on bubinga and it cuts well if you go slowly. Love the canvas cover.

Good glove, I use them for the fireplace. I have seen an eagle's talons up close and for that I wouldn't recommend the glove. Although I am not qualified I still think they would work for a smaller bird.

No! They will burn you if you try. Gloves for burning logs are made from specially treated leather. Hope this helps

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.

I use it for woodworking. Not sure how it would work for welding. Personally, I would be a it leery about sparks and how well it would fit under a welding mask.
