I got these for my sister n law to use as she has been diagnosed with Factor Five Blood disease and likes to go fishing, To keep the risk down of pricking herself when she is trying to bait her hook or take a fish off her line I gave them to her. She loves them and couldn't believe she wouldn't have to depend on someone else to bait her hook or remove fish off her line. She can also where them when she is cutting things up in the kitchen as well and not have to worry about cutting herself with a knife. I would recommend these to anyone.
