Customer Reviews

Don't Buy for a beginner
This is not a very good product for a beginner. It makes carving very cumbersome and will not provide much protection.

For the expert, you really don't need the protection.

Happy fingers
I have both the finger and thumb guard. I carve using pocket knives, and these have been really helpful. They do take some getting used to, but after I broke mine in the benefits outweighed the different feel. The guards are less about preventing cuts and more about preventing sore digits for me. I choke up on the blade of my knife for more leverage, and the index guard really prevents the soreness I usually have after a few hours. The thumb guard does prevent the little micro-cuts that happen at the end of a cut sometimes, but mainly it just protects from soreness that comes from pulling on cuts toward the thumb. The guards seem designed for hands that are meatier than mine, but they are still pretty comfortable and the elastic keeps them on pretty well. This is a surprisingly high quality product for this low price.

Necessary protection.
These things have proved their value and protection several times over since I bought them. Wouldn't work around craft knives without them. Almost overnight shipping too!
