Indeed, spot on, thanks. Might have to have a rethink though, did not quite expect that kind of expense.Something to ponder.Ta

Bloody hell, they dont come cheap do they!
Cheaper than new fingers.When I worked in a butchers the people in the cutting room would wear them all day every day. IIRC they were replaced every 3 years or so. When you lol at it as safety kit with a long life then they aren't that expensive. TBH I would only use one now if I was regularly jointing carcasses (more than your average family or group of mates were likely to eat.
I'm not sure what the OP wants a glove for but the equivalent money spent on a knife skills course may be a good investment (I.e. teach the techniques to cut properly & minimise the chance of injury).

Would you be able to use a Kevlar glove? Or would that not be appropriate for the intended use?
They (kevlar) seem to get a mixed reception on Amazon. Seem to be under £15 or so, so not excessive, for some reason I expected the chain mail gloves to be perhaps £30 or so, was unprepared for how much they actually are. Scenario is that I'm going to be filleting whole fish, and a new found friend will be supplying me a meat source which will need an amount of butchery. I'm not in the food trade, will be to help extended family.
Obviously , I'm going to be using very sharp tools, and knowing myself all too well, some kind of precaution against cuts makes a wise move
Should be no need for a glove when filleting fish. Unless you're cutting up whole pelagics such as tuna and swordfish then a glove really is overkill - no fish bone is going to be that difficult to cut with a decent knife. Meat butchery is a different kettle of fish (ahem!) however and one would be a sensible precaution here. As has been stated, a decent knife course and knowledge of anatomy help hugely when cutting meat (or fish).
