CUT RESISTANT GLOVES

Start with what's cutting

Hand blades, sheet edges and glass want the higher levels and a steel core; box cutters, cardboard and food prep are what the thin knit is for. The level on the product page is a lab number for a straight blade under load, so match it to the sharpest thing your hands meet in a shift, not the average.

Then the palm

Dry work: the plain knit breathes and feels the work. Wet, oily or greasy: a nitrile palm, or the glove is off your hand by ten. Smooth and slick, like glass and tile: silicone dots. A coating wears before the knit does, which is what the 3-pack is for.

Dexterity is safety

The glove you take off to use your phone is the glove that's off when the blade slips. If the phone is part of the job, take the touchscreen tips. Fit matters the same way: measure around the knuckles, and swap for free if the size is wrong.

How long they last

Fingertips go first on knit, palms first on coated gloves. That's wear, not failure; rotate pairs and wash them (machine for the knit, by hand for the coated). Anything that fails before it wears out is on us: message us with your order number and a replacement ships.
