Something useful your fingers will appreciate...

How's that for a catch line, sorry I'm a Recruiter in real life.

I found something that could be useful to knife tinkerers but thought especially knife makers. Knife making must be brutal on your fingertips, mortals like me, can't imagine the pounds of flesh they give making our shiny tools.

Check these out?

I haven't received them yet, but I'm usually happy with everything I get from this online retailer.

I don't know about you be the only time I cut myself with my knives is when I'm refinishing them. I'm thinking these could add a little protection to the skin. I wonder if they'll be useful for finger stones?

Just throughing it out there...

I got this loupe too

I've used these for detail carving in wood where I can't always guarantee a safe holding angle. They work very well for me.
