I recently bought a Benriner mandolin and Sur La Table didn't know what I was talking about when I asked if they sold such a thing. Does anyone know the brand he used and where to purchase? Thank you. Thu Apr 23 22:43:43 -0700 2009 12520 walker 1 4624120 Try a restaurant supply store. Just ask for cut-resistant gloves for a mandolin and they'll point you the right way.

I guess I'll only need one, not two. Sun Apr 26 12:05:58 -0700 2009 4629705 12520 walker 4 4630931 I got the PawGuard and I got a pair. They were a bit cheaper a few years ago when I got mine but are well worth the money. When I'm just cutting a few things on the mandoline I just freehand it and then grab the food holder when I get down to the last inch or so. When I have alot of stuff to cut, I don't even pull out the food holder and just pull on a glove. They are also useful when you are butchering large pieces of meat. I have the Rapala Fillet glove that I use on the boat when I'm cutting fish but the PawGuard is a higher quality glove. For filleting on the boat I don't care since the gloves get soaked in salt water and impregnated with fish guts. After awhile they get very stiff even if you rinse them very well. The Ansell gloves are much 'softer' and provide a more comfortable fit but are too expensive to use on the boat. http://www.anglerscenter.com/acc_fillet_gloves.htm Sun Apr 26 18:32:05 -0700 2009 4630016 193486 meadandale 5 4654623 Thanks, everyone. I ordered and rec'd the PawGuard (got one) was $25, including shipping. Got the small and fits fine.

Just search for "kevlar glove" and you'll find a dozen variations.

Fri Apr 24 03:40:57 -0700 2009 4624196 165668 ghc630 2 4624768 Do you think this is a good substitute for the rather expensive "oyster" gloves that are out there? Those run about $100, so I have held off thus far. Fri Apr 24 08:26:16 -0700 2009 4624196 87837 RGC1982 1 4624640 Kevlar is a material not a brand, bullet proof vests and some bike tires include kevlar. Go to Wally World and in the fishing department get a Rapala fish filet glove. Cost about $12 or go to William Sonoma and pay $30 for the same exact glove. Fri Apr 24 07:48:12 -0700 2009 4624083 46649 kayakado 1 4625028 Agreed about getting one at a sporting goods store. A lot cheaper. I use one for filleting fish. Holds the slimy little buggers down. Remember, they are cut RESISTANT, not CUT PROOF. Fri Apr 24 09:42:21 -0700 2009 4624083 251167 billieboy 1 4630107 You can get them at sporting goods stores because they are necessary when skinning and filleting fish.
