Review on ๐Ÿ’ช Optimized Lightweight & Flexible Cut-Resistant Protection for High Performance by William Hunter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

You passed my personal non-scientific cutting tests.

OK so of course I put these gloves on the counter first and tried to cut them with some kitchen knives. I used my high quality Chicago Cutlery knives with freshly sharpened blades. Believe me, they were very, very spicy. There was no damage or cuts to the gloves. They passed my #1 unscientific test. I then pulled out 2 of my ultra-sharp santoku knives (large and small) and applied considerable pressure to the gloves at various spots, nooks and crannies. Again, the gloves passed my test. There were no failures in Test #2. Now I decided to put on my gloves and try some of my knives again. I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING THIS, but of course I MUST try to complete the testing process. I didn't apply as much pressure as in tests #1 and #2, but I applied enough pressure to simulate a random cutting motion while slicing or cleaning the knife. Same result. Gloves provided complete protection from cuts. Passed test #3. So I buy these gloves based on my personal non-scientific (real) cut tests. According to my first experiences, they are comfortable, light and effective. They are great for solo use, or I could use them as a glove or ski glove liner in the winter when cut protection is needed. I would give them 5 stars if they put a cut resistance rating label on or inside the gloves. Again, I do NOT recommend or endorse Test #3. This was my personal decision based on successful Tests #1 and #2. Also note that these gloves DO NOT offer stab protection, allowing the tip of the blade to pierce through the glove. I will update my review if I notice a change in quality with regular use of these gloves. Always be careful and safe when using a knife or sharp object. You (the consumer) assume all risk of injury when using cutlery or other sharp objects with or without protective gear/clothing. Many Thanks.

Pros
  • The cut resistance is 4 times higher than leather. Reliable protection against knives, glass, razors and more.
Cons
  • Could have used the newer model
