Dowellife Level 9 Cut Resistant Glove Food Grade, Stainless Steel Mesh Metal Knife Cutting Glove for Butcher Oyster Shucking Kitchen Mandoline Chef Slicing Fish Fillet (Medium)

Item as described/pictured, great value, good communication, fast delivery, Thanks so much A+++

Given as gifts to friends that do butcher work. They both love them.

I got these for my students to wear in the lab when they are handling sharp objects. So are they have met expectations. No one has been cut, and they are easy to wear in a lab setting. My only complaint is they take a while to dry out after being exposed to water. Otherwise, they live up to their claims. I will buy more as needed.

excelente calidad

I wanted one of these ever since I saw a professional shucker using one. It protects your hands from the rough shells and errant pokes with the oyster knife. I don't use the liner, just put the mesh straight on the hand.

Well its going to save my fingers

I have small hands and the med was slightly too big, but still serviceable. I used it Sunday while cutting lettuce and vegetables and didn't cut myself. I had been having trouble with that lately after purchasing an extremely sharp knife that I wasn't used to. So, this glove is definitely working for me.

THE GOOD:To be fair, the price is great, $15 for added protection if you can't afford $50 for a proper "Chainmail Glove", do it!THE NOT SO GOOD:1. To be clear, you're only getting 1 mesh Glove! Not a pair. I was kind of tricked by the ad saying "2 pieces" but that was in reference to a thin cloth glove included with the single mesh glove you can apparently wear underneath. Not sure what you would want that for because it's far easier after butchering to just wash your hands and not a cloth glove. A little Tip having been a former butcher, order some "Black Widow Nerite Gloves" to wear under this or any other mesh love. They are disposable, your hand won't be soaked in blood and fat grease, you just toss the nerite when finished and Black Widow makes some of the best nerite gloves in the industry which I use all the time. These work "far better than the cloth glove provided here".2. Definitely order 1 size larger than what you are as these run small. I typically wear XL gloves but seeing this recommendation by someone else I ordered a 2XL and it is "very tight" making it difficult to use my hand. I'd actually ask for a 3XL if the option was available but it wasn't.3. The glove I received was "prickly" meaning there were loose wires poking at my hand. It could be just this glove but it's not nearly as comfortable as a butchers "Chainmail Glove" which are a bit more expensive at about $50 for a nice one but I'll be returning this one (you basically do get what you pay for in most cases).4. Having formerly been a butcher and always thinking level 5 was the best, it was the advertising of this being a 9 that got me to buy it more than the low price. I had to do an AI Chat Lookup to see what the AI had to say about the 5 vs 9 issue and the result confirmed everything backing up exactly what I experienced above in lack of comfort and more so I'm going to copy and paste the AI Chat response of a 5 vs 9 here for you so you can make your own conclusion..."In the EN 388 standard, Level 5 cut resistance indicates the highest grade and best protection against cuts from sharp objects. Gloves with this rating provide a high level of cut resistance and can withstand more severe cutting hazards.However, the mention of Level 9 does not align with the EN 388 standard or any other widely recognized rating system. It's possible that the Level 9 rating refers to a different rating system or a proprietary rating used by a specific manufacturer or organization.To ensure you're selecting appropriate butcher gloves, look for gloves with a high cut resistance rating, such as Level 5 under the EN 388 standard. Additionally, consider other factors such as comfort, dexterity, and specific requirements for your tasks to find the most suitable gloves for your needs."Hope this helps.
