Well, I've Never Seen This Before!

Isn't it a "Right Of Passage?"
We've all cut our fingers with a hobby knife. Practice makes close! The more experience you have, the less we cut our fingers.

Years back at the Print Shop I heard a paste-up artist let out a yell. An X-Acto knife had rolled down the angled drawing board and stuck in her thigh! These Kevlar finger cots can't help a fast rolling knife.

I've been using an X-Acto knife since I was five years old. But then again our 1960s based toys involved unsupervised toy making hot plates and wood burning sets.

This product obviously comes from China. I like the photo: "Let's see if they work by dragging a sharp knife over a protected finger!"
I don't quite understand why the F, S, P and Ts are highlighted in yellow.
Before somebody corrects me, I have seen finger protection used in wood carving.

  1. Full gloves made of the same material would make more sense to me. Less chance of the individual digits rolling down your fingers.
