Those look like kevlar gloves, probably similar to what was mentioned earlier. We also have those gloves at my work. We are a corrugated factory and the gloves are supposed to eliminate paper cuts... but I did cut one in half with the paper running on the line, just to see if it would. Kraft paper running at 900 fpm acts like a bandsaw.

These are the Kevlar gloves we use at work. The cuffed ones.

I really like those type of gloves, I get mine at TSC, new ones are little hot in summer so I use the worn ones in hot weather, more cloth less rubber. I have a pool so handling chlorine tabs in those is great. HS.

I use two types. If I'm working on the barb wire fence I use fabric with leather palms. I have a type of barb wire - 4 point Eversharp - that will cut thru any glove I've ever found. So I just wear the cheap ones knowing they are going to be cut to ribbons. Otherwise I wear Lamont leather gloves.

You want a tough glove , use what the Butchers use , cannot cut them with a sharp knife
Do not know what brands are available in the USA but go ask a butcher

I bought a pair of those "cut proof" gloves for cleaning fish and they are cut proof but do nothing for sharp points like points of knifes, thorns or barbed wire. They are basically loosely woven Kevlar string that has a wound with SS covering. Knife will not cut it no matter how many slices you take at it. It wouldn't be of any use in everyday wear though.

I use insulted leather gloves from Marks. The layer of insulation seems to make the gloves allot tougher plus they protect your fingers from blows and crush injuries better.
