I bought this glove since it was paired with the oyster shucking knife which I was buying ... says that it's a popular purchasing combo. This is not a suitable oyster shucking glove. The description doesn't tell you that the back of the hand part is a knit fabric. Not very practical when there's a lot of water-splashing, oyster juice sloshing, and rinsing going on. On the plus side, I didn't come close to cutting myself while shucking. On the negative side, I was starting to get prune fingers from the water soaking through the knit part of the glove and collecting in the fingers.
