Q: What kind of protection do these provide?

These finger guards protect against minor cuts and slivers while carving or doing similar detail work, without the bulk of a full glove.

Q: How many guards come in a set?

Each set includes three elastic-backed guards, sized to cover two fingers and a thumb on one hand.

Q: Do these fit any hand size?

Not necessarily. You'll need to pick the right set: small guards fit glove sizes up to women's large or men's medium, while large guards suit anything bigger.

Q: Are these better than wearing gloves for carving?

Yes, for most carving work. Gloves add bulk that can dull your sense of the tool and material, while these guards protect just the areas most exposed to cuts and slivers, leaving the rest of your grip unrestricted.

Breaks In With Use: Like other leather goods, the guards grow more supple the more they're worn.
