Abstract
Abstract A chain mesh protective glove for butchers has a semi rigid wrist guard configured to shield an area extending no more than halfway around a user's forearm nearest the wrist joint, including the front of the wrist and the base of the thumb. A flexible wristband connects the wrist guard to the glove and secures the glove around a wearer's wrist. When the glove is used in conjunction with a conventional protective sleeve, the wrist guard provides protection against knife penetration between the glove and the sleeve, without significantly impairing articulation of the user's wrist.
