Very well made product (I guessed US or Germany, but they're made in Thailand).
The gloves have a supple stretch to them that was unexpected. The included printed instruction sheet (Yay!) says "Made of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, glass fibre and spandex. The Amazon listing and sticker on the ziplock bag say "Stainless Steel material", but there is no evidence of steel, stainless or otherwise. It may be enclosed in the yarn, but that's doubtful, as it's nice and stretchy. I'm just guessing, but maybe the steel construction has been replaced with the UHMW/Glass fiber as listed. There is no evidence of glass fibre either, no itchy, irritating feel, these are just NICE! You wouldn't know they are cut resistant if it didn't say so. They fit, feel and work like super high end work gloves. The instructions say not to test, but I just had to, and used the cuff of the safe (cutting) hand. 3 strokes with a freshly stropped 2" Sloyd Knife in the same spot didn't break a single fiber or even leave a mark, good enough for me, I'm convinced they will stop almost any slip (nothing is infallible). The weave is a lot like chain mail, and like it, they are susceptible to puncture with a pointed blade tip, but that's a longshot carving accident (even then, I'd expect they would help reduce the injury a fair amount). Size is a little big if anything (a good thing), most gloves I buy marked "Large" fit too tight to be comfortable, and these are just a tad large, what I consider a perfect fit. They are an ambidextrous cut, where they fit either hand well, and as such can be worn with nibs in or nibs out. If you only wear a glove on the off hand, you in effect get 2 gloves, one with nibs, one without. (I'm not a fan of ambi gloves, but these stretch-fit so well, you don't even notice)
These are a top of the line tool, suitable for many trades, they would excel for sheet metal work, glass and other potentially sharp material handling, banding work, fabric/leather cutting or food prep as well as wood carving, sculpting and any such blade-centric activities.
Instructions say no heat or power tools (snag risk I'm pretty sure), and don't feed your T-rex carrots with them.
I can't recommend them enough, I will be using them for a variety of jobs where I used to pull out the uncomfortable, stiff leather gloves (or didn't).
If you participate in activities where cuts are a risk, these could save you from an injury, (minor or life altering) and they are about as unobtrusive as one can make a glove, so you will be much more likely to be wearing them when that slip happens. They are more comfortable than the smack of a razor sharp knife blade into the side of your hand, trust me on that one.
Don't be without them when that slip happens.
