After i cut my finger, I looked into Klutz gloves but it is my feeling they will not really protect against blades. I tried out the gloves for chefs...not totally protective and checked out the gloves for stained glass cutting at Hobby Lobby. These do work but they are oversized and too bulky for me. Finally, I found this glove I had bought a while back for gardening (lost the mate, darn). It fits me and it is covered or saturated with a rubberlike coating. I rubbed the blade against it and it seems to resist the blade. I use it every time I use the rotary cutter, and it has become automatic.
