Best cut resistant gloves according to redditors

Mandoline, you can get several types. I highly recommend getting cut resistant gloves too. Mandoline is the scariest thing I have in my kitchen even though I use it a lot. You could also try a salad shooter.

Three words: cut proof gloves.

Welp, here's a bunch more stuff. That pretty much exhausts my useful Amazon purchasing history, the rest being media (books, music, movies, TV shows), health 'n' beauty type stuff that wouldn't be applicable to 99% of other folks, or items that are some combination of "not listed anymore" and "shit I wouldn't recommend."

• $7 6"x9" mesh organizers. I've got a bunch of these on a couple of shelves in my bathroom closet, organizing all my little crap while keeping it immediately searchable and accessible. ($5 when I bought 'em.)
  
  
• $10 reusable earplugs (decibel attenuation only). These are what replaced the disposable squishy kind I listed in my previous post for when I go to shows. They do an awesome job of lowering overall volume without affecting the highs/lows. When I forget to take them to a show and have to use the foam kind, I cry a little.
  
  
• $12 20-pack of no-tools-required drywall-rooted hanging hooks. This shit is how 90% of my art is suspended.
  
  
• $15 small watering can. Spout rotates back towards body for storage; spout tip is removable.
  
  
• $16 three-pack of TSA-compliant liquid/gel travel bottles. Pricier compared to other options (and a little more than I paid), but for me, absolutely worth it given the quality, considering that I currently need to travel with three (fucking three!) different types of moisturizer.
  
  
• $16 tool crock. Sits on my kitchen counter and holds most of my long cooking utensils: ladles, hard spatulas, chopsticks, whisks. Holds a shit-ton and has never tipped over.
  
  
• $21 stovetop teakettle. I use the electric I linked in the previous post at work, but at home, I still use this. Very functional design, but doesn't look like ass, either.
  
  
• $25 100-pack of plastic sleeves for 12" records. Keeps out dust, protects cardboard sleeves, makes all your vinyl look all nice and consistent. Enough wiggle room to fit even gatefolds and double albums.
  
  
• $12 100-pack of plastic sleeves for 7" records. Same thing, but for singles and the like. Slightly more wiggle room than the ones for 12-inchers, proportionately speaking.
  
  
• $30 six-pack of tins of the best fucking Irish breakfast tea (loose). Making a pot is pretty much the most important thing I do every morning at work.
  
  
• $40 mandoline (fixed-blade kitchen slicer). Purchased based on the Cook's Illustrated review a few years back. Awesome for cutting a ton of shit to uniform thickness quickly. Wicked sharp blades.
  
  
• $16 non-slip safety gloves for use with kitchen blades. Absolute necessity for using and cleaning your mandoline (especially if you're as clumsy as me), unless you want to pick up some impressive scars.
  
  
• $53 infrared thermometer. Purchased for use in my kitchen (check surface temp in pans, check water temp when baking with yeast, etc.), but also fun for just fucking around with.
  
  
• $126 computer desk chair. I think my back had a tiny orgasm the first time I sat in it, and it still kind of does every time since. Not sure how well the ergonomics will work for a shorter person, but it's perfect for my 6' self. (Bonus: No pressure on my tailbone, which meant I could stop using my old lady cushion with the cut-out for my butt.)

I mean if he 100% does not want to change the habit you can also get him those cut resistant gloves - $8

I've got gloves like these, I use them pretty much any time I have to cut something now. I loved it when using a grater for cheese the other night, and again for cleaning said grater. It's nice not to have to worry about your fingers.

Here's the same type

Cut resistant gloves, like these.

It's just so easy and cheap to make this a non-issue

So whenever I use a mandoline or spiralizer, I wear food grade kevlar gloves. They are pretty inexpensive (~$10), and if you get a pair that fits you well, you will save yourself a whole lot of blood sacrifice and trips to Urgent Care for stitches.

In addition to the hand guard /u/matt1267 mentioned, cut resistant kevlar gloves are magic.

I refuse to use my mandolin without wearing a pair. (The food guard is a hassle IMO.)

I would also get a pair of cut gloves like this. Makes using a mandoline in a safe manner much easier

If the kitchen doesn't already have them request slash resistant gloves. They've saved my fingers on more than one occasion.

Ears:

• 3M WorkTunes work well but make your ears hot after a while.
  
• IsoTunes Pro
  
• Almost any type of foam earplug
  
  Eyes:
  
  
• Mostly just use whatever is cheap. These are sometimes free after rebate at Menards.
  
  Lungs:
  
  
• I prefer the GVS Elipse, but finding the accessories can be difficult if you don't have a local woodworking store.
  
• I also have this respirator from 3M. It's not as comfortable as the Elipse but it is easy to find extra filters when needed.
  
  Face:
  
  
• When turning on the lathe or power carving, I use the Uvex Bionix face shield. This is used in addition to safety glasses, because face shields do not provide sufficient protection for the eyes.
  
  Hands:
  
  
• Cheap latex-dipped gloves for moving lumber around.
  
• NoCry gloves for carving
  
• No gloves at all for power tools. Ever. Wearing gloves with most power tools, particularly spinny ones, is dangerous.

I like to keep these handy for when I'm dealing with edge lords. Safety first!

One thing if you use this get a pair of cut resistant gloves with a blade like this you will cut to the bone if you slip.

Acquired a pair of these when I worked at a BBQ restaurant. Still use them when I get the mandolin out. I have gotten quite attached to my fingertips over the years and plan to keep it that way.

Besides keeping your knives sharp in the kitchen (dull knives cause more injuries than sharp ones!) everyone should have at least one cut resistant glove in their kitchen for when you're doing stuff like a lot of chopping/cutting or especially when you're using the great finger-tip eating Mandolin.

Cheaper than stitches...at least in the US. I'm sure you Canadian and European fans are just slicing your hands up all over the place knowing your healthcare is better and cheaper. May as well get your money's worth!

A strop is only for honing (the final step to achieving a razor-sharp edge), while a whetstone could be used for anything from shaping the initial bevel to honing, depending on the grit.

If you do buy some Flexcut knives, which I highly recommend, you will probably only need a strop if you properly maintain them. In fact, they recommend you never use a whetstone and only opt for a Powerstrop if you neglect them for too long.

Many sites will recommend you buy tools one by one so you can get what you need, but as another beginner, I was extremely happy I purchased the Flexcut Deluxe Set. It was probably one more knife and one more palm tool than I needed, but it helped me understand what was out there and how to use them. A good, cheaper alternative might be this set.

No matter what you buy, one of the most important things to do from both a safety and usability (and enjoyment!) factor is to keep your tools as sharp as possible. That way it requires less force to move the tool through the wood, which is a common injury mechanism, and it makes it easier to create fun things. For the weird angles with V and gouge tools, I use another Flexcut invention. It works okay, but you can get the same results with folded sandpaper or other methods. I also bought a fullsize knife strop because it really does make a difference and you can get some with a lot more surface area. I haven't needed to buy a whetstone yet.

Also, I've since supplemented my starter set with Dockyard tools, which also come very sharp and keep their edge well. So far I've only used their micro tools, but I understand they have decent sets as well.

Speaking from unfortunate experience, you should definitely pick up a pair of kevlar gloves. I had a pretty serious hand injury (partially severed tendon) because I was just doing some touchups and wasn't using my gloves and got a bit sloppy. It only takes one single wrong stroke, and I had gotten complacent since I'd been so careful in the past. The gloves let me be more reckless and have definitely saved me from cuts, although they wouldn't protect against a stabbing cut. Thumb guards are also popular, but I don't actually like them very much. The gloves are nice because you can get a great grip on the tools.

When you have a knife or a set, you'll need some wood to practice on. I found ebay to be a great resource...just search for "basswood" and pick a few different sizes. 2x2x6 seems to be a good starting point to me. Make sure it is kiln-dried as well. Here is a good assortment that is pretty cheap. Butternut is another good choice, but for a beginner, I'd stick with basswood from personal experience.

Finally, if you are wanting a good book to introduce you to the subject, I'd recommend the Complete Book of Woodcarving. I've bought a number of books on the subject, but it is definitely the best if you are only buying one and need an overview to the entire craft. Old Time Whittling is only 30 pages, but gave some great examples and was very useful to me as well.

Get a pair of those:

I carry a pair with me during work, really handy when you deal with sharp objects of any kind.

Get a pair of gloves.

He was probably just testing them out

Ah I see. Well here are some things on my list, I think it's different from gardener to gardener.

seed starter with heat

Kevlar sleeves for prickly plants and tomatoes that make me itch

seed stamp for planting

square foot gardening book

knee pads

garden clogs

gloves I go through gloves like crazy!

plant markers

gardening set just some basic tools

bucket organizer

of course there are lots of other things that you might want like seeds, tomato cages, kits for building your own raised beds they are all available from amazon, so it really depends on what you like and want to grow. I don't know if this helps you any? Maybe plan out your garden and what you want to grow then you'll know what you need?

Cut Gloves can be pretty affordable to have on hand for people doing prep or dishwashers that don't have a lot of knife experience. Way cheaper to have these "on hand" than a hospital bill or L&I costs

I got some cut resistant gloves as a gift last year and they look kind of goofy but it's better than losing a fingertip. Otherwise I just use mine very very very carefully and slowly and also not often at all.

Get a 10 dollar cut glove and no one should hurt themselves on a madoline ever again. I've tried cutting through mine with my very sharp chef knife and it does nothing.

gloves, something along the lines of these:

https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00IVM1TKO?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2

everyone's talking about graters and microplanes and that's all well and good til you get a nice big chunk out of your hands.

Are they a little goofy? yes, sure. will you cut your hands? no!

Kevlar gloves can be cut with a slicing motion. They are tougher to cut, but I wouldn't rely on it for more than incidental contact with blades. For highly likely contact and higher cut resistance, metal gloves are used.

That's quitter talk. Go put these on and make her happy.

My dad bought me these because I had so many mishaps in the kitchen for some time

I have an OXO stainless steel folding mandolin and I love it. So. Yeah. I just got into Japanese cuisine for work, and am so thankful that I'm an age-old mandolin-er. I also bought a cut-resistant glove at the same time, and would never ever EVER use the crappy guards that come with any mandolin.

Or just buy cut resistant gloves. I have a pair, and I never use a mandolin without it.

Mind you I have only used this stuff to carve this one tiny thing but I figure I can always upgrade to different tools if I stick with it for a while and decide these things need an upgrade. Next time I buy supplies, I’m definitely finding another retailer for larger pieces of Basswood though. The selection on Amazon sucks a bit.

I like ones like this

They are a lot thinner than most of the ones that my employers that required them would buy. With a thinner glove I was able to feel what I was doing better so my finer knife cuts didn't suffer as much.

If you want a chain mail one like the other guy posted, here is a cheaper option.

Let me just leave this here for everybody...

Invest in some no cut gloves. I have this pair and while they're not indestructible, they will save your fingers from a glancing blow. I wear a pair of latex or vinyl gloves over them when i slice to keep the fabric from getting dirty.

Just search cut resistant gloves.

Edit: Here you go. I use them when cleaning my knives.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01334T3U2/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I really like this one.

I'm notorious in my house for slicing my hands in stupid ways while in the kitchen, so my wife got me a pair of these. She did not enjoy my demonstration of them as I tried to cut my palm open. They work pretty well. I highly recommend them or something like them!

Mandoline and a cut resistant glove ... have a look at the comments on any mandonline on Amazon before you pass on the idea.

http://www.amazon.com/Cut-Resistant-Glove-Protection-Preparation/dp/B00GU1RD2G/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Try a kevlar glove. Its great for using with a grater or mandolin without worrying about slicing up your hands.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0008F5JFI

Ever try those cut resistant gloves?

I like to wear one of these on my hand used to hold the piece, and one of these on the thumb of my knife holding hand.

You're out almost nothing, and you'll have some really great protection that wont hinder your dexterity.

$12 and your problem is forever solved

Kevlar sleeves

Wash out bites and scratches with alcohol or hand sanitizer. Keep clean. Best to flush soon after injury. Keep wounds covered so you don't get body fluids in them. If a bite breaks the skin or you get body fluids in an orifice or cut you need to file workman's comp so you can get your shots. (I'm a mod/severe special ed teacher, this happens a lot.)

I have a couple of devices to suggest that might help you out a little bit. And then some Recipes..

These could be used I think for chopping some smaller items too not just herbs

Some of the items in this dish can be purchased ready to go like the onions and bell peppers. I also buy diced pickled jalapeños to use in dishes cause I can't touch them.

In this recipe they want you to cook the chicken from raw and then shred it. that could pose quite a challenge. I used rotisserie chicken already chopped that worked better for me.

[Black Bean Garnachas]

For this one I would buy the carrots already sliced.

[Campbell's Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice]

Cut gloves are always a good bet! I’m most familiar with this style, from my days in the restaraunt industry. They’re a little easier to cut through that the next style, but you shouldn’t get hurt even if you cut through the glove. The grip on woven gloves is also much better.

These guys are essentially chainmail armor, but they don’t really allow a good grip on hard, smooth surfaces like most wood. Also they could mar the surface of the wood, depending on your grip strength and the wood.

As counter-intuitive as it sounds, dull knives are way more scary than sharp knives. Sharp knives cut where you want to cut, and require less pressure to do so. Dull knives require more pressure to cut, and are more likely to jump suddenly during a cut. It’s safer to always keep your knife sharp!

youch. do yourself a favor... https://www.amazon.com/Dowellife-Resistant-Protection-Shucking-Processing/dp/B06XBGR2L9

Depending on the design, Kevlar can absolutly be cut resistant.

https://www.amazon.com/58123-6-Kevlar-18-Inch-Resistant-6-piece/dp/B0008EZKCQ?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2

​

These are commonly worn by sheet metal workers and people working around ducting and the like. Also worn by bricklayers during types of refractory work.

​

I have several pairs and can attest that it is VERY hard to cut through. Easy to puncture tho. So again, its all in the design.

https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00MXUHHGK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=2NJDA14KPA8Z2&keywords=no+cut+gloves&qid=1556971636&s=gateway&sprefix=no+cut+g&sr=8-3

Try prying them off first but be prepared for breakage from the start. Just an idea, possibly use some spray glue to attach a plastic tarp to a few pieces at a time. Otherwise you can use tape and square off a couple feet at a time. Then some light taps with a hammer on a nail ought to break it into small workable pieces without causing a huge mess. Use some cut resistant gloves for removing the pieces, preferably into a sturdy cardboard box (the glass should be able to be recycled). Long sleeves, hat, pants, shoes and eye protection as well, and put down some cloth moving tarps, as those will catch and hold tiny glass chips without them bouncing off, and you can throw them out afterwards. Use a lint roller on your clothing to get glass particles out. See if you can get some of those shoe covers so you don't get any glass embedded in the soles.

That does seem like an expensive piece of kit - and if you do decide to return it and buy a cheaper model, Id recommend buying something like these (protective gloves!). They might seem like overkill, but even as a fairly experienced cook, using mandolins (even with the hand guard) gives me the heebie jeebies!!

I have cut myself on my damn kitchen knives so many times. I got a mandoline slicer for my birthday last year and (before even opening the box) got a set of cut resistant gloves like these. After almost shredding my first one I've replaced them again, but I haven't cut myself again so its totally worth $10/year.

You should get some cut resistant gloves!

I was thinking leather gloves, but are you talking about something like these?:

https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00MXUHHGK

I got one of these at a local kitchen supply store (for waaay more than Amazon charges, now that I look. Whoops).

Also as a PSA, if you don't already have one, get a kevlar glove so you don't cut your fingertips off (I would have cut myself a couple times on this project if I didn't have one, sliced through the nitrile gloves).

There's these. You'd need the 11" model. Not sure if it would work though. Pipe cutters get a bit finicky if they're not rolling straight and a baseball is not a smooth surface. Idk, kinda expensive for a maybe.

Cut resistant gloves like these might be a better investment.

I would imagine a steel mesh glove (covered with a food prep plastic glove) would dramatically improve the safety of even cheap mandolines for those who cannot afford a $200+ one. Not to detract from what you are saying - just expanding it to broaden options for those who aren't familiar.

A much cheaper alternative (though likely significantly less resistant [reviews state that it has protected them from mandoline cuts, but buyer beware and all that]):

I just ordered these so I can't attest to their quality but their ratings are fine on Amazon.

thumb guard

gloves

Actually I didn't cut myself once (I was sure I would) but I also bought these gloves about half way through:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015MGKX4E

I never really tested them hard, but it was nice to have one layer of protection so that you could decrease your carving force if you felt the knife contact them at all.

Wanna keep your fingers and not have to deal with the stupid guard your mandolin came with? By a cut proof glove =)

I'd ask your PCP about the hematologist. I've had two PCP's over the years (I moved), and each has given me a referral to a hematologist. My current hematologist has been amazing.


Life style modifications: mostly just being a bit more careful. I'd ask your PCP about compression socks. I flew from Boston to London and was AOK. I got up every 60-90mins, wore my compression socks, and stayed hydrated. No issues. I've been advised against contact sports. I used to compete in powerlifting, but have stopped since I get a gnarly bruise across my back when squatting more than my body weight. The concern about contact sports is head trauma and the potential for significant bruising. I'd consider buying a set of sharps gloves for use in the kitchen. I have these.

For info about birth control and blood clots, I'd check out the National Blood Clot Alliance. They have a separate page dedicated to the topic, found here.

As far as if the birth control could trigger the clots after all that time-maybe. I think of it as a cascade of risk. If there is an underlying clotting disorder, it could have contributed the clots.


As far as timeline goes, I think it depends on the individual risk factors and if they find an underlying cause.


For more info, I go to 2 sites: StopTheClot.org and then the Blood Clot Recovery Network discussion page on facebook.

Ordered

Thought the slice I took out of my thumb was a lot smaller than it is. Re-bandaging last night convinced me to get a glove.

I use something like this, the price is pretty good as well. They should last you a while:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003DZ02RU/ref=pd_aw_sim_60_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=99BGV1PW06MB2GBDHED9&dpPl=1&dpID=8168rJ1DP7L

The rubber coating is nice for the occasions that there are liquids present, but decent cut resistance is more important. Lots of broken glass and sometimes actual knives in those bins, not to mention the crap you probably don’t want to touch with your bare hands anyway.

You can get cut and puncture resistant gloves.

Something like these. Or these Leather ones.

Then you can wear some 5 mil thick Nitrile Gloves over them. These are 9 mil thick. A 9 mil thick glove might be all you need.

Another thing I would do is carry around a can of lysol spray. That way you can spray anything you have to touch that might cut or break a normal latex/nitrile glove.

depending on what you are doing.
might try these. https://www.amazon.com/Simple-Glove-but-Fully-Protection/dp/B01DL9Z74K with thin nitrile over the top.

if that just doesn't work for you, might try these.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0008F5JFI/ref=psdc_553608_t1_B01DL9Z74K

another option might be the thinnest cotton gloves you can find, and wear them under nitrile gloves. change the cotton gloves every few hours, since you'll be cutting a hole in the nitrile or latex gloves just as often.

Seriously though

One of the better purchases I've ever made.


Also I very recently was making chili and had added to much beef stock so I added some corn starch to help it thicken... except it wasn't corn starch it was powdered sugar.

One entire pot of chili ruined and macdonalds for supper instead :(

I use the Benriner along with these no-cut gloves. It's been great.

Yeah. You can find them on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MXUHHGK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apis_1511840335128

I have these and they work great.

Also available at your local Restaurant Supply store usually! I'm not allowed to use our mandolin without one! LMFAO

Edited to add... I have no experience with the glove I linked to and there are lots of others on Amazon, I imagine they are all pretty comparable.

has anyone of you guys tried to flip wearing a cut resistant glove like this? is it too thick or slippery?

I'd use these gloves

You can try Kevlar gloves. But caltrops can sometimes stab you even through those.

Otherwise, thick leather, awkwardness and all. But caltrops can stab you even through those.

With caltrops, there isn't really a good answer, sorry.

I am also terrified of cutting myself, so my bf bought me nice knives and a pair of gloves like this: https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00MXUHHGK

When they came he demonstrated how safe they were against sharp knives and now I use them all the time and I feel SO much more comfortable.

The Jamaican prep cook I worked with ages ago taught me to put on an apron and an oyster shucking glove to shuck oysters. After a few weeks of practice I think I was at least nearly as fast as these guys. I wonder why they don't use the best tools for the job.

I have a few suggestions for you

1. Removable and Flexible build plate I recommend Easy peelzy
   
   
2. A good pair of cut resistant gloves what I use
   
   
3. Safer tools i use these the edges are rounded but still be careful they get very thin at the end

They do, my friend!

Yeah, it's something like this

I highly recommend getting cut-resistant gloves and using them when you use tools on a 3D print.

Cut Resistant Safety Glove https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GU1RD2G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9ljSDbTQA4QRS

If you're not in a hurry, you can get them from Alibaba for $2-3, just search "cut resistant glove".

As always, when starting carving I always recommend getting a pair of cut gloves. They are less than $10 and even if you only wear one on the hand holding the wood, they can save you from some serious cuts.

Especially when first learning. If you’re trying to get through a knot, the grain takes the blade in an unexpected direction, or for whatever reason the blade slips.

They aren’t perfect, you can still stab directly into them, but it lessens the depth. But they will protect you from slices. Mine have paid for themselves at least three times through not having to visit the doctor for stitches.

Also, whatever knife you get, make sure it locks (if folding). The best way to cut the hand holding the knife is to have it fold closed on you.

NAH.

Buy him one of these: https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00MXUHHGK/

Hey OP, aren't there gloves that he can wear to not cut himself?

Here's one

Knife-Proof Glove

An excellent solution

Seconded! I love this mandolin so much! Also, if you’re worried about cutting yourself and find the plastic gripper hard to use, I highly recommend these gloves to go with it.

I've got this one. Works like a treat with four different cutting options. The handheld guard is good, but you do end up with some waste that becomes too small to carefully cut.

You could buy metal gloves to protect yourself.

I recently lost a hunk of thumb to my mandoline slicer while watching football, so I invested in one of these. Wear protection, people!

Like many comments in here, use your hand guard! I've cut myself many a times just thinking it'll be faster without the hand guard. Or you can get yourself a cut resistant glove:

http://www.amazon.com/Rothco-Shurrite-Heavyweight-Resistant-Gloves/dp/B000IGGBX6

Mandolines can be nasty freaking things and the included food gripper things often suck outloud. But! Kevlar Gloves! Freaking awesome!

After my boyfriend cut part of his finger off I bought him some gloves. Butchers use them a lot and you can find them on Amazon. Usually made of kevlar or chain mesh.

Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00IVM1TKO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449652438&sr=8-1&keywords=Butcher+gloves

Thanks for the reply!! I read this yesterday and it honestly helped me to get motivated. I bought these gloves from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00IVM1TKO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504298736&sr=8-1&keywords=cut+free+glove
and they worked amazing! I wore them today and the bites didn't hurt:)

Dexter are about the best for the price but they're not fancy.

I actually like my fillet knife from Cutco. The blade is extendable and it has a leather sheath.

Bubba blade fillet knives are popular. I don't have one. They come in different sizes and styles.

One product I didn't think I needed but now I can't live without is a fillet glove. Here is one for example glove

Here ya go:

Hopefully you got taken care of at the ER.

Here's a pair of gloves that I use with my mandoline.

I am so sorry, that sounds incredibly tough. Just for reference, they do make kevlar gloves, if you want them.

It sounds like you've done a lot for a month. If they won't let you do CPI training my honest suggestion is to bring in a pillow or even a gym/nap mat that you can hold in front of you and safely block yourself. Obviously never use it to push him, but as long as you're merely protecting yourself it can serve as a stand-in until they correct that rule. You should have a right to be safe in your own room.

All the advice you've had so far is great, about sharpening, Jacques Pepin, etc. If you try this and the fear is still getting in the way, or you just want a little more security, you might look at getting one of these. They're actual chain mail and they offer protection while still allowing for dexterity. I got one to use while grating stuff on a box grater and haven't nicked myself since.

Assuming you aren't joking about the gloves, try these. I bought them after I accidentally sliced open my finger with a box cutter. They will protect against most potential cuts. They're comfortable and cheap.

I also have a mandolin, and I have also cut myself badly enough to need an ER visit.

Now I have a pair of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MXUHHGK/ref=asc_df_B00MXUHHGK52857762/

There are BIFL gloves, but they don't really fit your criteria.
other than that, gloves should be considered disposable.

That would be a Doctor question, not a me question. Best I can do is suggest you consider a Kevlar or chainmail glove if you're worried about knives while cooking.

I'm on mobile so not sure if it'll work:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IVM1TKO/ref=ya_st_dp_summary

Yes, I really like that slaw too. I've used it for several other dishes. You don't need a mandolin, but that really helps. And I love these gloves to protect your fingers (mandolins scare me):

cutting gloves

Always play safe

not chain mail.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W5DMX3C/

I have a pair I use in the kitchen when cutting a lot of stuff by hand or using the mandolin. Cut myself once on the mandolin - never again. You ever seen those videos where they take a knife and do a nice clean thin cut of a vegetable to show off how sharp it is, ya that happened to my thumb.

They're machine washable!

For wood carving, definitely recommend puncture and cut resistant gloves with a rubber coat on the inside. Example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074DTJ5ML/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_Twg0DbP7C0M50
