The perfect carving gloves
I've been through many, many gloves trying to find the best ones for me. I'm right-handed and only wear one on my left hand. My criteria is they must be comfortable, cut resistant, and affordable. I had been using the Dex Fit Cru 553, which are good. But, being thicker, they get stiff after a while and become uncomfortable. Finally, I stumbled across the HyFlex 11-644. These are cheaper at around $7 (in-store price,) and MUCH more comfortable. It's almost like not wearing a glove. The cut resistance is not as high (A2 vs. A5) so I did some testing. I put small blocks of wood into the glove and tried cutting through. I found it's enough protection to prevent stop most cuts unless you apply a huge amount of force. Check them out if you're in the market for new gloves.
