Kevlar gloves

[Nicholas Lingg]

Is one brand of Kevlar glove better then any other? Need to buy a set for my son, who's starting to carve. Thanks Nick

Depends on the use of the gloves.
If it's for wood working, no glove is safe. They tend to pull hands into things.

I know you meant to type "carve", but if he's really starting to "crave" you might consider another type of glove!;)

I have used them occasionally, never like to use them on the hand that I hold the knife with, for lack of control

practicing prober technique with sharp tools is safer method in my book than gloved hands

keep red pepper, crazy glue, butterflies and tape near buy when carving even with gloves on

A knife can poke thru a glove and there are other parts of the body that can be cut by accident too

I'm curious about the red pepper, whats the skitty on that?

I get them from Galeton Gloves, use them to cut butterfish chunking for tuna on a rocking boat at night, still have all fingers and hands. Use a 12" serrated blade and it has yet to cut through. Not to say the point will not penetrate but the blade does not.

red pepper stops bleeding fast!
and
No it does not burn

But if it is deep, I push the skin together and and tack weld with crazy glue

If you haven't done so already, you might want to post in the Woodcarver's Forum.
