A finger guard is a small piece of metal standing between the blade and your fingertip. These come two to a box in 304 stainless steel, adjustable by a guard ring so one size covers most hands, and they go on like a ring. They will not make you quicker with a knife. They make a slip cost you a scratch on a piece of steel instead of a bandage and an abandoned dinner.

Anatomy of the tool

Material

304 stainless, two guards to a box

Both guards are 304 stainless steel, the grade used for sinks and cookware. A blade that lands on one leaves a mark on the metal and nothing else at all, which is the entire job description here.

Fit

Adjustable guard ring, left hand or right

The ring adjusts to your own finger with a click, so the same guard fits most adults and can be handed around a household. There is no left or right version, so it works on either hand and for whoever is prepping.

In Use

360 degrees of metal around the fingertip

The guard wraps the fingertip the whole way around rather than shielding one face, so the nail, the pad and the sides are all covered. It is light enough that you forget it is on partway through a pile of onions.

Care

Shake it in water or run the dishwasher

Cleaning takes a shake in water, and the dishwasher does it no harm either. Dry it before it returns to its box, which is worth the habit: a guard loose in a drawer is a guard you cannot find when you want it.

From the sharpening bench

Wear the guard on the hand holding the food, not the knife, and keep the blade flat against its outer face. The metal then doubles as a guide for thin, even slices.
