My mother is arthritic and not very good using a knife such that she is more likely than ordinary to cut herself. She currently avoids using a knife but thinks a cut-resistant glove would change that. I was wondering what kind of cut-resistant glove might be the least hassle to use and maintain. As well as chainmail, I see that there are also ones made of wire ("microplane"?) which seem be more form-fitting than chainmail.
Can they be put into a washing machine or maybe they should just be worn and brushed with a washing up brush?
Getting the glove on and off might also be a consideration (chainmail looks like it might be a little easier simply because they're a looser fit).
I'm guessing that the chainmail resist a cut better than the wire gloves but I'm not sure that matters unless you're swinging a meat cleaver?
