Good point, i need those

i don't get it, who's the target market for that

>>12629132
people like my gf that cut everything with a dull pairing knife

>>12629132
Idiots.
Most lucrative market there is.

Literally just use your first knuckle

>>12629132
people chopping 400 onions a day

>>12629145
That's literally the joke...

I haven't sharpened my knife in a while, so it's getting close to mom-sharp, can accidentally ding myself with the edge and not get cut, but I'm also never needing to use significant force to do anything like I used to. What's going on?

>>12629178
If you were cutting 400 onions a day, you would be working in a restaurant as a cook and would wear a cut resistant glove, not mess around with some gimmick gadget that only protects the tips of your fingers.

>>12629202
y'ain't even need a glove

>>12629145
woosh

>>12629224
You only need to chop your fingertips off once

>>12629078
foodcu/ck/s will love this device.

>>12629178
>>12629202
why would anyone need to protect his fingers when he's cutting 400 onions a day

doesn't that imply he's pretty good at it

which means he doesn't need to protect his fingers

?

>>12629224
that guy is missing the tops of all his fingers

>>12629335
>cutting your fingernails shorter than American average claws means suddenly you're a Yakuza

Okay.

>>12629078
I hope the hand model finds himself stranded in the worst part of Chicago, at midnight, for holding the knife like that.

>>12629247
It's time for you to go back to Twitter

>>12629088
really men know how to use a knife

>>12629078
Tool for retards

Those metal gloves are fucking shit memes, it's so tiring to use them for extended periods of time and they aren't even any better at stopping cuts than kevlar gloves

>>12629840
>must have

op what you posted is fucking garbage
it in no way actually stops your finger from going past the guard
>>12629322
no amount of experience is a replacement for using proper safety equipment

I'm a jhsc member from a place where people with 6+ years of experience of deboning picnics injure themselves even with protective equipment
no matter how good you are at something, you can fail, and you can fail god damned hard.
i've even had to patch up a guy who had someone elses knife jammed through his hand, through the metal glove.

>>12629132
store owners that don't know people won't buy this shit
>>12629191
you were just so bad at sharpening your knife you couldn't tell you rolled the edge badly
>>12629849
if it's tiring to use, you didn't have yours sized correctly

>>12631007
>health and safety

Nanny state pls go and stay go

>he doesn't cut his food with rapid-fire karate chops

youd only really need something like if youre cooking for people outside your family. your own blood and familys blood wont have an effect on you if you ingest it. your genes will recognize the dna and neutralize it

>>12631142
yeah just like your aunt/mothers pregnancy

>tfw I julienne onions by the 50 pound bag every single day and have never once cut myself

>>12629191
Try sharpening it retard. Most things especially fruits and vegetables can be cut with a blunt knife because its not hard to push a thin piece of metal through a potato.

If you cant shave your arm then it needs sharpening, it takes a matter of minutes, its not hard

>>12629224
These guys actually make those knives out of old hacksaw blades

>>12631224
That sounds tiring, what knife do you use, what do you sharpen it with and how often do you sharpen it? Just out of curiosity

>>12629191
You have probably just gotten used to the knife being blunt. And you may have a properly thin ground knife, those can movie through food relatively easily even with a dull edge. That is no excuse not to sharpen it though.

>>12629078
Using a proper knife would do more to protect your fingers than that "device".

>>12631224
With a knife? Get a mandoline for those amounts nigger

>>12629224
>the onions fly fucking everywhere

>>12629202
No one working in a resturant would be caught dead wearing one of those.

>>12632147
don't worry they're indian, they'll use the ones off the ground too.

>>12629202
Isn't shit like that for divers, so they don't lose fingers to deep sea critters?

>>12632165
the shark gloves are similar but are a bit differently constructed, and don't really stop a shark from breaking your fingers off inside the gloves.
diving with sharks and shit is stupid no matter how much protective gear you got on

steel mesh gloves are usually used in industrial settings like slaughter houses or fish processing where people are doing things quickly rather than carefully, since you can quite literally pick it up and hack it apart on your palm.
usually paired with a plastic arm guard, pic related, and chainmail vest.
depending on regulation the protective gear is often concealed under labcoats

>>12629145
>Every kitchen prep person I've met has sliced off part of their knuckle
Maybe I should use patented chunk finger guard

>>12629224
what the fuck are those car horns do they live in cartoon land?

>>12632165
yeah giant octopuses can't grab onto chainmail with its suckers

>>12633086
Helps if you use a wider blade.

>>12631783
Chef's knife. I hone it every so often, 10-15 onions or so. It's a house knife so it gets brought to a sharpener once a week, I don't bring my own knives into work unless it's for a special event like a wine dinner.

>>12631224
>and have never once cut myself
>Plot twist: he was circumcised when he was a newborn

Checkmate faggot

>>12629078
why is that carrot so big?

>>12629132
old people or people who have lost some motor skills but still want to cook

same shit as half the bizarre home products you see on tv

>>12629078

>>12635249
Everything is bigger in China

>>12629349
>American average claws
America is not well known for long fingernails on men; you're thinking China

>>12629078
what kind of houewife contraption is this

>>12631224
why not a food processor

>>12629202
If I were cutting 400 onions per day, I would use mandoline or food processor, depending what size I want

>>12637053
i've seem some pretty bad mandoline accidents, from missing fingertips to a guy who was missing most of the skin on his palm and a chunk of his thumb muscle

I like the idea of the device but people are just too retarded to be trusted with these
