Diao Ke Dao Hand-Sewn Cowhide Wood Carving Cut-Resistant Gloves – Level 5 Protection for Fine Craftsmanship

Elevate your woodworking safety without sacrificing the precision your craft demands. The Diao Ke Dao Wood Carving Gloves are an artisan-grade solution designed specifically for carvers who require a delicate balance of protection and tactile feedback. Built upon a professional-grade foundation and enhanced with hand-sewn leather, these gloves provide targeted reinforcement where you need it most, ensuring your hands stay safe during hours of intricate detail work.

Key Benefits

Hybrid Safety Construction:** These gloves utilize Portwest Level 5 cut-resistant fabric as a high-performance base, providing top-tier protection against sharp carving tools and accidental slips.

Strategic Cowhide Reinforcement:** Unlike standard industrial gloves, this custom design features frosted cowhide hand-sewn onto the palm, index finger, and thumb. These specific zones are the most vulnerable to injury and friction during the carving process.

Optimized for Sensitivity:** Designed by experienced carvers, the material choice ensures you don't lose the "feel" of the wood. You can maintain a firm grip and sense the resistance of the grain while keeping your skin shielded.

Artisan Hand-Stitched Quality:** Each pair represents a commitment to craftsmanship. The leather components are manually sewn to ensure durability and a contoured fit that mimics the natural movement of your hand.

Asymmetrical Protection:** Recognizing that the hand holding the wood is often at the highest risk, the left glove is specifically reinforced with cowhide to withstand the pressure and potential contact of the carving blade.

Key Specs

Base Material:** Portwest Level 5 high-performance cut-resistant knit.

Reinforcement:** Genuine frosted cowhide leather.

Assembly:** Hand-sewn leather overlays.

Quantity:** Sold as a complete pair (two gloves).

Configuration:** Left-hand glove features specialized cowhide reinforcement for wood-holding stability.

How to Use

Preparation:** Slip on both gloves before handling any sharp carving tools or wood blanks. Ensure the knit cuff sits securely around your wrist.

Grip:** Use your reinforced left hand to steady the wood piece. The added friction from the frosted cowhide provides a superior non-slip grip on the timber.

Tool Handling:** Use your right hand to maneuver your carving knives or gouges. The flexible knit allows for a full range of motion for complex cuts.

Maintenance:** After use, shake off any wood dust or shavings. Store in a dry place to maintain the integrity of the leather.

Care & Safety

Safety Disclaimer:** While these gloves provide high-level cut resistance, no glove is 100% "cut-proof." Always practice proper carving techniques and "keep your wood behind the blade" as your primary safety measure.

Leather Variation:** Because these feature genuine hand-sewn cowhide, natural growth textures, grain patterns, or small scars may be present. These are marks of authenticity and do not affect the glove's protective performance.

Integrity Warning:** Do not intentionally attempt to cut or damage the gloves to "test" them, as this can compromise the fibers and leather. Damaged gloves should be replaced to ensure continued safety.
