Negatory, I also have hand problems so it make it kinda easy to cut myself.

I've used Ringers, Mechanix and Iron Horse gloves. They each have their own upside. And it will depend a lot on your hand as each has their own fitment "quirks". Mechanix brand tends to have regular length, fat fingers, while ringers have a slightly longer, skinnier finger. the Iron Horse brand has a very tight fit around the hand, which makes it difficult to get off when sweaty.
Mechanix brand has a warranty. If the glove WEARS out, they will replace them at no charge. If you cut them, rip them, burn them ... no dice. But if you wear a hole in the thumb or finger, they will replace them.
Several years ago, I bought 3 pair of Mechanix brand gloves. I have a dirty pair, and a clean pair that I use when working on the race car. And the 3rd pair is hanging on the shelf. When the dirty pair finally wears a hole, the clean pair rotates to the dirty pair, the new pair become the clean pair and I send the worn pair back for replacment. When the new ones come in, they go on the shelf.
This warranty does not apply to their "Fast-Fit" line ...

heres the pics of my hand after the cam/springs install. the back springs are what did most of it
the only worse time I got cut up was my clutch swap, I had little cuts all over, then when I bled the MC I got brake fluid all over my hands. That did not feel too good and im sure it wasnt healthy
