Sorry to hear about the injury,that must have been a nasty hurt,Just though i would let you guys know about a really bullet proof glove thats out on the market,someone mentioned a kelver glove,since im in alaska and do a lot salt water fishing big fish,there is glove out for holding and cutting fish,i think its called a Shark Skin,its actually heavy wire type mesh glove,actually is comfortable to wear,and belive me,no matter how sharp the knife is,you slip and get your hand,well you better sharpen the knife,but reading this thread,made me think about useing it for starting some of those big monster engines,any good tackle shop should know about them,there acutally metal wire gloves,but really comfortable to wear.You might get a broken finger,but thats about all that would happen with one of these on and you got tangled up with the prop.

Something to think about.
