I used to sell a lot of different equipment to telcos back in the day. If I recall correctly, somewhere from 1982-87 we introduced gloves like you mentioned. I forget the name, but I would demo it by dragging a razor knife across my palm. What did you do in the telco? Were you with the Bell system?Using what they called a sheath knife, we were supposed to use a special glove, maybe kevlar related, forget it now, when removing the rubber outer sleeve from copper wires in telco. Had to use some downward pressure in doing so and the glove was there to prevent accidents when knife slipped as it often did. Working in nasty environment like a manhole paper towels were a necessity and of course electrical tape a necessity for all kinds of uses. Saving bacon a slang phrase for whatever applies....
Kevlar gloves prevent slicing, stabs are another story! I remember when Safeway bought us out and the stainless steel cut resistant gloves were issued. None of those fitted properly enough and meat cutter spent more time sharpening their knives.I used to sell a lot of different equipment to telcos back in the day.

Nah, but I have met the guy that did the voice of the young Bambi. He is a retired Marine with a battlefield commission, Phd in Mathematics, and lives in San Angelo.
