Today’s cut-resistant gloves are made from space-age materials that have revolutionized hand protection. Gloves utilizing materials that are 10 times stronger than steel, on an equal-weight basis. Gloves made from the strongest fibers known to man — some of which are so lightweight and dexterous, you can pick up a dime, yet are so cut-resistant that they withstand repeated slashes from a box cutter. If this sounds like science fiction to you, then you have not kept up with advances in glove materials and technology in this new century.
