Cut-Resistant Glove Features Reinforced Thumb Crotch

April 10, 2021

A glove’s most critical wear area is located in the curve between the thumb and forefinger. Constant gripping and abrasion slowly wear it down. Brass Knuckle SmartCut BKCR3520 is a cut-resistant glove offering high dexterity that protects this area with a reinforced thumb crotch.

 

The glove’s shell is a lightweight 15-gauge high-performance polyethylene (HPPE) fiber that provides ANSI cut level A2 protection. This high-performance composite yarn is optimized for fit, function, and cut-protection performance. Nitrile foam coating on fingers and palm adds excellent abrasion resistance while channeling water, oil, or other liquids away from the surface, providing excellent wet-grip performance.

 

Abrasion can eventually wear down a glove’s coating, with the first signs of failure commonly seen in the crotch between the thumb and forefinger. Brass Knuckle SmartCut BKCR3520, with its reinforced thumb crotch, extends glove life and saves money on re-orders. It stands up to applications with a high degree of deep-in-the-hand abrasion that can cause premature wear-and-tear to gloves.

 

A premier medium-duty glove choice for cut resistance, slip protection, and dexterity, BKCR3520 is the ideal choice for such as construction, electrical and general assembly, glass handling, HVAC, manufacturing, parts cleaning, vehicular construction, receiving, sheet metal handling, and more.

  • Nitrile foam coating on full fingers and palm. An ideal choice for wet or dry and light-oil applications that also require excellent abrasion resistance. For wet-grip applications, sponge-like foam coating draws oil and other liquids away from the gripping surface, improving slip resistance. 
  • A reinforced thumb crotch provides additional strength between the thumb and forefinger, offering more protection in an area that is highly susceptible to wear and tear. 
  • The shell is 15-gauge HPPE (High-Performance Polyethylene) fiber that is lightweight and provides ANSI cut level 3 protection. Yarn configuration is optimized for fit, function, and cut-protection performance. 
  • Color codes simplify re-issuing and spot-checking for compliance. Brass Knuckle cut level 3 gloves feature a black Brass Knuckle logo. Color-coded cuffs indicate glove size. 
  • A full knit wrist provides a snug fit and prevents dirt, debris, and cold from getting inside the glove.
