Have you cut yourself with a klutz glove on?
#1
I have read too many stories here about loosing a tip of a finger while using a rotary cutter.
Just wondering ...... Has anyone still cut themselves , or run into your finger with a rotary cutter while you had a klutz glove on? Did it prevent you from getting cut? Or make is less serious than it would have been if you did not have the glove on?
I now have a klutz glove and try to remember to use it EVERY time I pick up my rotary cutter. But I have always wondered if they REALLY work, or if they just make you more mindful and more aware of what you are doing and how you are cutting>
Has the klutz glove really saved anyone's finger?.

Aren't the Klutz gloves like a Kevlar glove? I use them when I carve. They honestly do prevent slicing - you could test it by attempting to cut through it. Don't think, however, that it totally protects you because you could still jab/stab yourself through the weaving with a sharp point scissors, etc. (Believe me, with my carving, I've demonstrated that point quite dramatically!)
