I really like the DEX FIT Level 5 Cut Resistant Gloves Cru553. I found that woven gloves filled with wood shavings that would poke my hands and give me splinters.
Surprised knives are not made with oversized handles and encourage carvers to trim for their own hands and all carvers should be deleted to be able to fit their own knives. I'm building my own become of the fitting issue. I got a beaver and they are as you saying 💯 percent to thick and hold a fairly good blade that i hope I've find something better. Flex Cut will be my second choice and I'm hearing much as you saying but that handle looks short for sometimes we hold knives for specific cuts and expect to have problems for a few cuts.. That Drake handle looking great and can be trimmed to my fit.But that owner passed so about the qualities of the company is questionable at this time. This has helped thanks
Came across this as I bought a cheap whittling set from Amazon. I kindof enjoyed the hobby, but the knives were kinda dull, then dulled further even quicker so lopping of bigger chunks was nigh impossible - I could only reasonably get shavings. The gloves that came with it, were like the 1st set in the video - I think he understates how annoying the slipperyness is, especially when learning, plus the small shavings were getting caught on the fibres of the glove. By my second 'spoon' it had gotten out of hand (pun unintended), and is really tricky to clean off. So yeah - I should've spent a bit extra on knives with a better reputation, and bought gloves separately.
where can i find the Kevlar Gloves with Leather Reinforcement? Beceause the link doesn't work but they look pretty good for a starter. I want to buy them for a friend of mine who is just starting this hobby.

Try thecarvinggloveguy.com . You can order from him directly, he supplies the gloves to a lot of woodcarving shops.
Does that Blue Dot glove leave blue residue on the carving? I have one with black dots that leaves an annoying black on everything....
No. I use this glove regularly and I have never had any problem with it leaving marks on the wood.
