It is possible to purchase cut resistant gloves with different amounts of padding
The reason for this is that some tasks require the ability to grip objects firmly. In order to make sure the gloves allow a free range of movement for the fingers, less padding is utilized.
Many brands of cut resistant gloves are also coated with finishes that help to enhance the ability to grasp surfaces that are somewhat slippery.
The coating can also add to the puncture resistant qualities of the material. This makes the gloves even more user friendly when dexterity and the ability to grip objects is key to the
task at hand.
Wearing this type of gloves is not appropriate for all industry or manufacturing settings. In other instances, gloves made from one type of material may be acceptable while gloves constructed
of other materials should not be used.
Food service is one example. Spectra would be an excellent choice for this industry, while several other types of cut resistant gloves would contain elements that are not compatible with
handling food products.
While cut resistant gloves do offer protection from cutting or slashing action from rough edges or knives, their ability to resist puncturing is somewhat limited.
Using the point of a knife to create a puncture would be somewhat difficult, but not impossible. Very few types of cut resistant gloves could stop an item such as a sewing or knitting needle
from penetrating the shell.
However, the combination of the thick shell and the underlying padding would absorb part of the thrust and possibly minimize the amount of physical harm resulting from the puncture.
