Cut Proof Gloves

[Nimrod1960]

Just read VSS’s post re his injury

I currently use a woven/chain mail type glove with nitrile one over it for butchery. Have now decided it would be a good idea for gralloching.

What cut proofs are being used out there ? Wondering if there is something more tactile for the fiddly bits ?

Saftey gloves from scobies direct , nitrile glove over the top for all larder work and park gralloching. Have to start wearing 1in the field .

Do you need to wear a chain link glove when you cut bread or prepare steaks in the kitchen?

Sometimes, just being careful and not rushing will be enough.

I think I’d be wise to wear a chainmail glove when I cut my nails tbh

I think the brand name is NoCry
Inexpensive but effective, washable Kevlar knit. I take one with me and leave one home for butchery.
Sadly they don’t make underwear, jumpers or trousers……

I think I got mine from butcher's sundries. Under a tenner.

This is my approach. I appreciate accidents happen, but not rushing and paying attention goes a long way to mitigating the chances.

I think we also have to remember about field work that the light is often poor.

Risks are everywhere a club member sliced the length of his finger recently with a stanly knife while DiY laying a carpet.

Working in the dark on a winters evening with horizontal rain on a Scottish hillside is something that some people wouldn't do.
These are the same people who tell you you don't need to take precautions.
That's when this glove will save you five hours in A&E and the follow up, with days of reconstructive surgery on you ligaments and tendons.

I use one in my butchery, especially with pork which can lead to your hands and equipment becoming quite greasy.

I agree in the main. I have used knives both as a hobbyist and professionally for the past 45 years with only one incident of fairly major blood letting, I still have the thumb on my left hand thankfully. However after reading the report I have decided to purchase a safety glove And use it in the field and when butchering. One incident thirty years ago is enough for me.

I use one of these fabric cut proof gloves on my non-knife hand, under a nitrile glove. Saved me some cuts a couple times.

I should just add that the chainmail gloves are easier to clean than most alternatives.
I put mine through a 'cool' wash in the washing machine, (I have the metal clasp type wrist closure).
It gets rid of all of those tiny bits of deer stuck in the chains if your glove ever splits.

In Glasgow I would think so.
