I have one that's puncture resistant (won't block a direct thrust from an angry/drunk feast patron or an insane lover) and definitely *will* prevent a sliced finger.  Get a good one for $20-30...an excellent investment and a fine gift for your favorite culinary friend.

I wish we had thought about this before the Middle Eastern Feast.  The 
lady who was to become my "apprentege" was chopping mint and managed to 
slice off a piece of her finger along with the mint!  The amazing thing 
was that she didn't panic, wrapped up the injury, made sure that any 
mint that had touched the blood was removed and cleaned up her work 
space...all before really letting us know what had happened.  When we 
did the ceremony, I told her she really didn't need to prove her 
dedication to our household by sacrificing a piece of herself, much to 
the amusement of the group.  But...given this, can I pick 'em or what??
