Not precisely. You can still wear a mail gauntlet whenever you want.
You can still grab blades (with or without a mail gauntlet) in any
bout where that move is legal.
If you're playing "armor as worn", cuts against the mail gauntlet are
ineffective. (Although it wasn't stated specifically, I doubt the
marshals would have much of a problem if you and your opponent agreed
beforehand to call a mail gauntlet that way in pretty much any bout.)
If you're *not* playing "armor as worn" then a mail gauntlet is
treated the same as a leather gauntlet: cuts will still count.
Regardless of what you're wearing, playing tug-of-war with the blades
is Right Out. Grab the blade, make your move and release the blade.
Wrestling over blades *is* a potential safety hazard--broken blades,
lost tips, maybe even broken fingers could result.
