Good protection
I am a woodcarver. The glove appears to be quite sturdy and cut resistant so far. But I found it to be too slippery to provide a good secure grip, so I added some stripes of "Plasti-Dip". Works fine now. As noted, get one or two sizes smaller than you think you need. One question I have is why can I not detect any metallic threads in the yard from which it is woven? Even using a 10x glass. In any case, The glove seems quite good so far. But I wonder about the alleged stainless steel component of the yarn.

Great safety accessory, a bit large.
I'm a pretty experienced woodworker but a novice carver. Carving a small piece of wood, I'd have a lot of small cuts if it weren't for this glove. As others have mentioned, it runs large, but I got a size smaller than usual, so that worked. My only real complaint is that the grip on what you're carving with this glove is a bit iffy. It might be nice if they had a rubberized coating on the palm and finger pads. I'd still buy it again, as the safety it gives is paramount.

Best to start 2 size smaller
My hand size measures 9 inches (large). Based on comments from previous purchasers, I downsized my order to Medium. The medium was still too large, and I returned it for a small, which is only a little large, but hopefully won't stretch too much with use. While it seems a little extreme, it might be best to start out by downsizing TWO sizes, and then if that doesn't fit,exchange for a better size.

Gloves are way too large
If you are going to purchase one get it 2 sizes smaller than you would normally order
-
Extremely over-sized
From previous comments indicating that sizes ran larger, I ordered a small instead of the medium, It is still way to big!
