Now, I know why they call them boning knifes.

[forktender]

I just got done sharpening my knife to bone out a few chickens for the grill.

Well, that's not all I ended up cutting. One slip with a freshly sharpened knife/shaving sharp, ended up costing me $350.00 at the Emergency Room in the middle of the night.

I'm buying some cut resistant gloves.

Do any of you have any recommendations for a good set of cut proof gloves that still allow you to maintain good dexterity?

I can't afford anymore trips to the E.R. on my retirement wages. LOL!!!

Be careful with those sharp knives.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Dan.

Thanks, I saw that, do you prefer one brand over the others?

 

[cal1956]

not really , both my wife and i like the ones that sell for $ 12.00 per pair that comes with 3 reinforced fingers , haven't cut ourselves since we bought em !!!

I got two of these a decade back, kept one in the kitchen and one on the boat. Sold the boat last year, about to toss the one in the kitchen and replace it with the one from the boat. Great fit and dexterity, they will save your hands! RAY

I have purchased about 10 different pairs over the last 10 years and used and tossed them all. Started using these on my nn cutting hand and I love them. https://www.bunzlpd.com/workhorse-cut-resistant-gloves-a610

That sucks but its still better to slice yourself with a sharp knife than a dull one!

 

[forktender]

Thank you, I bookmarked your recommendations to look at tonight, I'm ordering a few pairs, so I can keep a set in the RV and each of my boats.

Yep. Been there. Done that. I cut deeply about 6-8 weeks ago when my wife was out of town. I can look at a cut and say, "that needs stitches." I looked at my cut, had that thought, and knew I'd ruin my wife's visit with our daughter and new granddaughter if I told her I got stitches.

Bled like crazy, but cleaned it up, slathered with antibiotic gel, and wrapped it firmly with a water-proof bandaid. Repeated when changing the bandaid every 24 hours. Now I have to look hard to find the scar.

That was a lesson I learned when flying for the Navy in my young, "live like you're invincible" days. Almost chopped the end of a finger off when pruning a bush. Finger stitches would mean being grounded for a couple weeks or more. Not happening. Can't even see that scar anymore.

Heal fast, Dan. And buy some waterproof bandaids.

I got the FORTEM brand on Amazon. 4 gloves for $7.99. I haven't cut myself while using them. They're the first cut resistant gloves I ever had so I can't compare them.

[sandyut]

[DRKsmoking]

[Brokenhandle]

Ouch! Can't help with the cut resistant gloves...until I do that but if I do I'm asking for pretty pink stitches like my 3 year old Dobie has now. Heal up quick!

Hate that you whacked your finger, but at least you didn't whoop something more important off!

 

[mosparky]

I have a chainmail glove for when things get serious. They can be had under $20. One advantage is they are also stab proof. The Fabric based ones might not be.

 

[GaryHibbert]

Ouch!! That sucks, but at least you know you did a bang up job sharpening that knife.
But $350 for 4 stitches??? That hospital really must pay their seamstress one heck of an hourly rate.
Heal up fast.
