They use them for glass handling, some people have pointed out that they wouldn't be effective. While, yes, they may be punctured easily, they're very resistent to slashing. (I know people who work in glass factories.)mehMon, 20 Oct 2008 19:29:51 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/05/15/save-your-fingers-with-kevlar-gloves/#comment-1766980Afaik kevlar would stop the initial impact of a stab from a knife but you can then push the knife straight through.AnonymousFri, 16 May 2008 06:20:47 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/05/15/save-your-fingers-with-kevlar-gloves/#comment-1766984Chrysophylax beat me to it. I always thought the inherent strength of kevlar was it's ability to withstand impacts. A slowly drawn knife would just cut the weave surely?ChrisThu, 15 May 2008 10:24:27 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/05/15/save-your-fingers-with-kevlar-gloves/#comment-1766981I don't get it. Is this a new type of weaving for Kevlar? Yes, it's always been "good" for bulletproofing - Kevlar's strength is in absorbing high velocity impacts. Kevlar's weakness is that knives & swords cut through fairly easily - bullet proof vests sometimes have a metal layer sewn in to protect from knife blades. Most "cut-proof" gloves I've seen contain a stainless steel mesh which is sometimes wrapped in kevlar, but this product doesn't make sense with conventional knowledge of how Kevlar works.ChrysophylaxThu, 15 May 2008 10:05:22 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/05/15/save-your-fingers-with-kevlar-gloves/#comment-1766983if they come in black they would make a great addition to my batsuitAdmin SmitheeThu, 15 May 2008 08:51:13 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/05/15/save-your-fingers-with-kevlar-gloves/#comment-1766982I like how the knife, sort of inexplicably, is an illegal in most states punch dagger. I guess it gives the image that much more tactical oomph!felixThu, 15 May 2008 08:17:21 -0000
