Mechanical Properties of the Kutlass Cut-Resistant Gloves
The Kutlass Nitrile Palm-Coated Gloves offer excellent protection against a wide range of mechanical risks. They have been tested in accordance with EU standards to ensure a high level of performance. Please find the results below:
EN 388EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves' performance when used whilst working in and around mechanical machinery by measuring abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.
The EN 388 cut resistance test uses a single sharp implement to repeatedly pressure a glove in order to determine the amount of force required to cause visible and functional damage.
| Hazard Standard | Resistance Level |
| Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
| Cut Resistance | N/A |
| Tear Resistance | Level 4 |
| Puncture Resistance | Level 4 |
| ISO Cut Resistance | Level F |
EN 407
EN 407 covers products that are sold as flame or heat resistant. There are a wide range of tests involved to determine whether or not a product provides a suitable level of protection in high temperature situations.
| Hazard | Level of Resistance |
| Burning | N/A |
| Contact Heat | Level 1 (100°C) |
| Convective Heat | N/A |
| Radiant Heat | N/A |
| Molten Metal (Splashes) | N/A |
| Molten Metal (Large Quantities) | N/A |

Suitable for a Wide Range of Industries
As the Kutlass Cut-Resistant Gloves offer the very best in cut-protection while being water, oil and heat resistant, they are extremely versatile. Some applications where these gloves are recommended include:
What Does a Level F Cut Resistance Rating Mean?
Level F cut resistance is the highest rating awarded under EN 388. It means that the fabric used to construct Kutlass K9C Safety Gloves can withstand in excess of an incredible 30 newtons of downward pressure.
This level of protection is the difference between a blade, knife or machine part ripping straight through your glove and it simply bouncing off.
How Heat Resistant Are Kutlass K9C Safety Gloves?
A level one contact heat resistance rating under EN 407 means a garment is resistant to temperatures of up to 100°C for fifteen seconds. This allows for the safe handling of heated material, products and tools without fear of burning or scolding your hands.
Steel, Kevlar and Leather Combine for Your Safety
If you require the very best in glove protection and are faced with risks that range from cuts, tears and punctures to oil, water and heat, then you've come to the right place. Kutlass Cut-Resistant Gloves K9C are serious high risk gloves for serious high risk tasks, using a steel core combined with Kevlar stitching to give you reliable protection that you can trust.
Leather Enhanced Grip
While they offer the maximum score available under the standard EN 388, their leather palm coating works to provide outstanding grip, meaning that the chances of dropping heavy, slippery and abrasive items on the ground or yourself are minimised. If you trust in your health and safety equipment you'll be more productive with increased well being at work, and these are gloves that are designed with trust in mind.
The Very Best in Cut Protection
Offering level F under the updated EN 388 standard, the Kutlass Gloves promise the very best in cut protection. This allows these gloves to excel in high cut risk applications when handling glass, metals and steel, while their heat resistance can enhance your performance in fabrication and glass manufacturing too.

What is EN 388?
You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 388. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.
There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 388. EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures.
How Do I Read the EN 388 Score?
Simply speaking, the higher the score that this product achieves, the better the product will be at resisting that hazard. Products will score between Level 0 and Level 4 for abrasion, tears and punctures, and if they weren’t tested for that hazard you will see N/A written instead of a number.
Cuts are a little different and, with the EN 388 standard rewritten in 2016, it means that gloves will either be tested to cut resistance or ISO cut resistance (sometimes called TDM cut resistance). Gloves tested to cut resistance will score between Level 0 and Level 5, and gloves tested to ISO cut resistance will achieve a score between Level A and Level F with the higher letter offering better cut protection.
