text: Not quite what I expected
  
  The picture shows a sharp point in the palm of the glove, so I assumed the gloves would stop sharp points from penetrating. Nope. They'll go right through the weave. They do seem to protect against slashes very well, though. I have man-sized palms, but short fingers & so I got the medium size. I usually wear a medium or even a small in most gloves. They're tight, but the fingers are way too tight. I stuck some 3/4" dowels in the fingers over night & they're much easier to get on today. I think I'll like them. The grip is really good right now. I'll have to see what they're like after a year or so, though. I'm not sure how well the tacky little nubs will wear.
