Just got these today! Of course I had to take them to the kitchen and try to cut them with a knife! They are cut resistant, but dont stick the point into the gloves because the tip will go through the glove. These will be perfect for my husband, because he has very low platelet counts and he hurts himself on everything. They are form fitting, so they will be great for doing any type of chore without the bulk of a normal work glove.
