Oyster Glv Oyster Glove
I have a very sharp knife and I am not an expert chopper, so I sliced my fingers a few times. After the last major slice due to clumsyness, I decided that I needed protection. When I started my seach, I saw that there were gloves out there that ranged from $10.99 (target) all the way to this Oyster Glv Oyster Glove which was a whopping ~$140...so why did I pay more to get the Oyster glove?

The cheaper gloves are not made out of metal, they are made out of fibers...so I handle a lot of meat and fish...not sure how clean they would be after repeated use. I also hate to wash things by hand....the oyster glove can be placed in the dishwasher to get cleaned after using it which is a HUGE convenience factor for me.

So most of you who know you want a metal glove will find that amazon has this oyster glove and another cheaper metal glove for like 80 bucks or something like that. The reason I bought the oyster glove is because of the wrist band...that allows you to tighten the glove around your hand so that it doesn't wiggly around, which is a HUGE benefit when wearing a protective glove.

The glove fits my hand decently, although you have to be careful about the whole one size fits all theory. In regards to usage, it feels great and doesn't get in the way which was something that initially concerned me. I also have plastic food gloves that I bought from costco that I wear around the gloves so I can switch from beef to chicken without having to wash it...making it even that much more convenient.

Aside from the wrist band that keeps the glove in place, I do not see any other difference between this oyster glove and the cheaper metal mesh glove that amazon sells. However, I recommend the oyster glove bc of the wrist band so that your glove doesn't move around when you are using it...just make sure the glove will fit your hand.

Husband loves this. Really works as a safety measure when shucking oysters. Expensive but worth it.
