I used several types of cut resistance gloves, sleeves and jackets. The outer layer can be leather, rubber or cloth: it is the Kevlar lining that makes it cut resistance. The Berserker tip is puncturing the material because the tip spreads apart the Kevlar fibers. This is why a knife can stab through some bulletproof vest, and an arrow can penitrate a some bulletproof vest. Have a safe 4th Sir.
You can buy 'needlestick' gloves which should be better for puncture resistance. Here in the UK they're around £90 and we need them for people like bridge inspectors who sometime have to feel around bearings where you can't see in the gap yet druggies discard their needles in it - quite a common occurance if you know.
@thebrowns5337 I have had needle puncture resistance gloves. I used them while interactions with homeless drug addicts on the streets. The needles, razors and knives they carry on them or in their pockets can inject drugs or a disease in you. I should be picking jobs that I stay away from sharp objects.
Those steel mesh gloves they use in meat packing plants are pretty much cut & stab proof. Some brands are obviously better than others. I like the ones with the finer mesh because they feel & work more like regular gloves.
Thanks for the video. In the early 90's, I worked with a guy who had the horrible habit of cutting things with the blade pointed towards his body or his other hand. Eventually, the inevitable happened. He cut through something, lost control, and cut deeply into the outer edge of his other hand. He needed a bunch of stitches and was on limited work for weeks. To try to mitigate the problem, they decided to order "cut resistant" gloves for him. I think that they were mostly made from Kevlar or at least had significant portions of Kevlar in them. When we got the gloves into the lab, we decided to test them. Because we had plenty of latex lab gloves available, but testing protocol was obvious. We put the rubber lab gloves inside the cut resistant gloves and then inflated the lab gloves as much as possible using the compressed air in the lab. We planned to slash at each of them with the razor knife like the one that he'd been using when he sliced open his hand. One set of gloves was very much like the cheapest gloves that you had here. I forget who was holding the blade, but when we slashed at that glove, the blade went through the cut resistant glove instantly and then through the rubber glove. We couldn't see what had happened immediately because the glove bounced away from us. However, we heard the latex glove full of air pop like a balloon. I don't think many of these gloves are made to resist a serious slash from a razor or even a sharp knife. As "armor" in a fighting situation, they are unlikely to be very effective. I think their primary purpose is to avoid getting small cuts when working with sharp things like glass sheet or even sheet metal. In a fight, I'd rather be bare-handed so that I could operate a firearm more easily.
Years ago, my workplace introduced cut-resistant gloves that were a woven combination of Kevlar and threads of stainless steel. As a test, one of my co-workers lay a glove flat on a bread board and grabbed a large fruit & veg knife. Using no more pressure than we did while cutting veggies, they chopped down on one of the glove's fingers. The blade cut right through the glove. The other bad aspect is those gloves also created a further safety hazard, because they drastically reduced our grip. Needless to say, we only ever used the gloves if we were doing light duty slicing on a bench.
Ok demo. I was less interested in seeing if the Li'l Smokies survived your hammering (they won't), and more interested in actually seeing the damage to the gloves a little closer up. Also, dollar amount isn't a good indicator of the quality of the glove, as you saw. Brand quality/reputation and construction material is key. No kevlar fabric glove is stab or hammer proof/resistant. The ones I wore on the street were specifically in case I needed to grab a blade as someone tried to stab me.
The website for the berserker blade doesn't give the price unless you start filling in email, etc. How much is the blade? I hate the give all my info just to see the price model of sales. How about you just be up front with the price and let folks decide from there?
Thanks for evaluating those blades! Very informative n interesting upload. Kudos will come in handy when looking for cut resistant gloves. Anticipating ur next one. Peace
Wow! No I won't even try doing what you do... That first Gloves you shown looks the Best ... But please don't cut your Fingers ....Thank you for Showing us the Gloves and the knives your using.... ♥️🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
The high density plastic cheap work gloves work well, but not terrribly good with heat. The Kevlar gloves are pretty good - I even use those Blackhawk flight style gloves riding the bike.
awesome vid n info there brotha jason about those gloves , there are a ton of options out there for them now for the tactical line n yes you get what you pay for , i belive in that theory indeed , thanks n keep em coming , i love em all 1 million % and will faithfully n forever support ya , > tom !
A kitchen knife is a perfectly fair tool to use for this test, but what really matters to me, how a glove holds up to a box cutter or an X-Acto knife, because those are the sorts that I use at work.
Jason good information, we are in Purgatory in N C Florida where it is Hotter Then the Hinges of Hell, maybe I’ll get a pair for Winter where it does get cold in NC Florida. 👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@JasonHansonSpyBriefing just yesterday I read that there is nothing sharper in the world than obsidian knives:so the question arises, can the glove withstand them?
Sausage in glove is a poor representation for finger. The sausage splits even if it has not been in contact with the edge. This channel used to be serious.
The only way to get more cut resistant gloves than kevlar is to get chain mail gloves , but even chain mail could be defeated by a strong stab of your Berserker Knife .
What would've been wrong with delaying the filming, running to the local supermarket, buying a pack of cheap hotdogs, then proceeding with filming the video? Just curious...
Hotdogs would be the exact same consistency. To be a true test you'd need something with thicker skin, a thin layer of flesh and then a hard core. Even when the blade does not cut the material you could easily squash a sausage against the table and 'cut' it in half.
Not amazing wish he would have cut at a fresh place for each cut instead of just sawing at the same place every time. But good information especially with regards to the puncture factor. I would be interested to see this with stab proof gloves but those cost more than all gloves shown in this video together

Chain mail gauntlets. Only solution really. But even those won't prevent all penetration.

They’re cut resistant, not stab resistant.
I love the smokie touch to this video, thanks for the post. Happy 4th of July
What! No chainmail gloves? They've been used by commercial butchers for years!

I used to wear a slash resistance vest on the job. It worked for slashes but not punctures. I personally tested it myself to see how effective it was.

These gloves keep your fingers inside so you don’t need to find them after they got cut off and you can rush straight to the hospital. 😂

Toss them in a crockpot with a can of jellied cranberry sauce and a bottle of BBQ sauce....heaven!

Lil' Smokies.....nom, nom, nom, nom!!! 😋
I paid over $100 for a pair of Vermont leather gloves 🙄. No. I am not slicing them for science. I’ll take a few smokies though.
👍

Jason can you tell us what the best martial art is for trained combatants
*#Awesome**👍*

It’s cool to see someone make do, teach, and entertain, with what’s on hand.
What's wrong with Little Smokies?

Wow
Feeling sorry for them smokies
😟 bugout bag? You talking mosquito spray?
When your name pops up, I start smiling. Thanks for helping us! 🥴
🙏🤝🙏
worst test ever, why even bother?
not a very good way to test them, use something harder than sausages, say very soft wood are hard foam.
👍🇺🇲🤝🙏
