Dear all
Does anyone know where I can get a decent chain mail glove from?

The ones peddled on Amazon appear not to be the full shilling,(some kind of fibreglass composite, not stainless steel) and Nisbets do not seem to keep them.

Any ideas anyone?

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

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
