My wife is working an internship finishing her Culinary Arts degree and I bought these for her since she works with knifes/mandolins a lot and has a tendency to cut her hand/fingers a bit. So far, as long as she has been wearing the glove, she has not had any more cuts. It does a very good job at its intended purpose.
As for the sizing, it seems like these run in "guy" sizes. If you are a woman with a little smaller than normal hands, the extra small size is probably for you.
This is a great cut-resistant glove lightweight, flexible, and not bulky at all. I use it with my mandolines and will start using it for regular knife cutting and grating.
For those of you with small hands, it was the only one I could find in XS. Fits like a glove!
I will be getting several more.
Buy Victorinox Cutlery PerformanceShield Cut Resistant Glove Now
My manager asked me to order some cut resistant gloves for the electronics lab I work in, as we sometimes handle sharp metal pieces. This was the only glove I could find that came in anything smaller than medium. I do wish it came in pairs instead of just one glove, but I understand how that would make sense for their normal usage model of using it in the kitchen. Because of this (and the higher price to begin with) my pair of gloves ended up costing 3x more than my male counterparts!
It would have been helpful to have a sizing chart before ordering, too. I have a hand circumference of 6 3/4" and usually buy women's small. I am very pleased with the fit and feel of the gloves, and since I just got a mandoline at home, I think I will buy one for personal use, as well!

This glove has prevented what would have been a few knicks, so that alone makes it worthwhile. But I don't go crazy with chopping abandon ... I'm still very careful when using sharp knives, but am less likely to get bloody from a slip. I have pretty small hands (size 4 ring or smaller) and definitely wouldn't be able to wear anything larger than an extra small.
Want Victorinox Cutlery PerformanceShield Cut Resistant Glove Discount?
Anyone who uses a mandolin or v-slicer should have this glove! Those tools are for cutting things up quickly, right? Well it slows you down to have to use the "safety" pusher, which also makes holes in your slices and the veggies can fall off, etc. Some folks are tempted to just use their hands, not this girl! But thanks to this glove I don't have to use that device anymore. I can work much faster, with less waste. Also, because it comes in a range of sizes from extra-large to extra-small it isn't cumbersome and you will actually *use* it. It isn't insulated, but it does offer a small amount of protection when cutting up slightly less-than-comfortable temperature food. I have noticed others lamenting about laundering the glove; well I don't know if this is an "approved" method of cleaning it or not, but I usually just stick it in the dishwasher after I use it and it hasn't affected its performance one drop.Victorinox Cutlery PerformanceShield Cut Resistant Glove, Extra Small
