The Best Cut Resistant Gloves can save you from a nasty slip of the knife. If you wield sharp blades often, chances are you’re going to get cut at some point, whether you’re boning a chicken, shucking oysters, or slicing on a mandoline. No one loves wearing protective gloves, but today’s models are inexpensive, comfortable, and flexible enough that there’s little reason not to.
Manufacturers insist their gloves are cut-resistant, not cut-proof, so we put seven of them to the test by slicing, stabbing, and chopping at them with a professionally sharpened knife. We couldn’t cut through a single one.
The real differences came down to grip, fit, and comfort, from lightweight knit gloves like the NoCry cutting gloves and OXO cut gloves to heavy-duty options like the Victorinox stainless steel mesh glove. See below for our complete reviews and ratings.
