After cutting my finger (some of the feeling is gone), I looked for a real klutz glove...sorry, the Fons and Porter glove did not meet my criteria...and I kept looking. Hobby Lobby carries gloves for stained glass work, but they were too big for my hands. I liked them because they were covered with a nice thick rubbery type coating. I found a gardening glove that fit me and there is a coating on it, probably for thorns, etc. I use it every time I have a lot of cutting to do.
